Saturday April 18 RIDES

[Mr. Bloom]

Yep, we did the hilly Possum Junction to Leavenworth ride. Last time, I did it at 13.5mph...today I did 15.6mph! Temp was 60 at the start and SUNNY!



We went through tiny communities with the names of FAR Away places:

St. Croix - BVI? nope, Indiana
Leavenworth - Kansas? nope, Indiana
English - UK? nope, Indiana
Possum Junction - Beverly HillbillieS - nope, Indiana!

We just came back from leading our first ride this year. The weather actually cooperated and was perfect; it looked dicey a couple of hours before we left, but it was partly cloudy and around 60 for the ride.
We had 8 people, including Kfergos and Mayanorange and her husband. Three people bailed at the last minute; they thought it was going to rain.
We did 30 miles of rolling hills, with a a bigger climb near the end. Everyone was nice and sociable, no flats, and no other issues. We had a nice stop at Great Brook Farm, where it looked like lots of mountain bikers were hitting the trails.
A nice day!

It was an awesome ride! And we just barely missed a rainshower. Thanks for leading!

It is FINALLY spring here!

We rode the Salt Lake marathon bike blast which is great fun, except for the start which is crowded, dark, and when I should be sleeping.

We were loosely affiliated with a pair of DH's work mates who are only a few months into their cycling adventures. Afterward, at breakfast, they were both high as kites, wearing their numbers and ride medals, beamingly proud at having completed the ride.

Sweet.

Mr Silver, you're such a numbers man.

Did 20+ miles on the Ride for the Cure today--in the rain.

Spring is here cuz bugs are pinging my helmet.
