August 9th Saturday RIDES

[7rider]

I started out with DH on the N2 this a.m. But I was sick last night and not feeling too spry - a problem on this ride. My friend was on the ride - she usually joins us at the start and then peels off early to head back to swap kid-care with her DH so he can ride (and then go and open the LBS). So, I peeled off with her and I think we gabbed the whole way back! I did a loop through Rock Creek Park after she left - what a place to people watch! - and then went over to the shop to get yelled at by the mechanic for my casual approach to bike maintenance! He tightened, lubed, and adjusted, and my bike is as good as new - and I rode away head down, recognizing the error of my ways. Thank you, Pepper!!!
Ended up with 50 miles on the day at 17.2 mph.

I rode the Rolla Lions Club trail with Fastdogs today. Once around, and it took about an hour. I love her new Gary Fisher bike and I had a chance to try out my new Specialized Myka. Also thanks to her for finding the spiderwebs first!
