I hosted a ride for the club today in my neck of the woods. We rode 48 miles under gray to partly cloudly skies. It was a low turn out but given it is Derby Day here in the Louisville area that did not surprise me. Three of us tackled the route and enjoyed the scenery as we cruised at along at a nice clip. We elected to skip the store stop and that turned out to be a very wise decision given about 20 minutes after arriving back at our cars the skies opened up, so we would have been soaked had we delayed our arrival. All in all it was a great ride. I averaged 17.1 mph which made me quite happy. It seems all my hard work on my trainer during the winter months is paying off in big dividends.

Hope everyone has a safe and happy Derby Day.
