Had a nice 25mile group ride today. The weather was great, 70F with 10mph winds, but we were worried about the rain coming the entire way. Luckily it held off. We had about 10 people there with a pretty wide range in abilities. Two were racers who were kind enough to give hints too all of us about riding in a group, how a pace line works, and just general help in drafting.

The only bad part was when some people (who had their MTB and were fixing to go on a ride), had let their dog loose, and what did it do? It ran right into the middle of the group. Only about 2 people made it in front. I'm still amazed that no one went down. The dog went right across the road, and we all went left, the dog started to go back left, but froze for a second, and luckily when one of the riders yelled stay, the dog stayed there long enough for us to get by. It was a close one though. That dang dog came so close to taking out my front wheel it wasn't even funny. But hey, we all stayed upright and finished the ride without any other incidences.

Now I just have to wait and see how long this nice weather lasts. The keep saying that's it's going to rain the next day, but the day keeps ending up beautiful. Wonder how long my luch will hold out.
