For most of you...the next co'ed ride in November 4th.
Rainy ride report goes here.
It was raining pretty hard in the East Bay when I woke up, kept raining as I got ready and through the drive. By the time I arrived at Woodside, found the public lot and rode down to the bakery it had stopped.
Five women were there. I thought "cool", they came out in the rain after all.
It was the Mello Velo, our easy and/or beginner ride.
We waited a little, I rode back up to the lot to see if there were any last minute arrivals for the Single Gals ride. Wooo hoo, mini hill repeats. :)
None, so at about 10:15 I decided to ride with the Melo gals and we left.
Still not raining. As we rode out it drizzled a little bit off and on, rained some but never real hard. We turned around at 92, just rain, stop, drizzle, stop, rain, stop, repeat.
Wind picked up but I was warm in my wool undershirt and the smartwool socks from my Secret Sister (If that sounds like a wool ad, it is :) ).
I was glad I brought the MTB because I offered to sweep the last rider I slowed...then dropped to my lowest gear....then at one point I was cheerfully saying encouragements while doing one legged drills .... while climbing....super slow but a great workout :D
This had been her longest ride ever and if you're lurking, you did great! :D
Menace is happy, filthy and covered in mud as a MTB should be.
So am I (no fenders) but this was fun. Now we both deserve a nice bath and hot cocoa.

Is it on the VG calendar?
I don't see the July East Bay ride on the Velo Girls calendar. Am I missing something?
