I wound up doing two rides.
Ride #1:
I lead a club ride in the morning. it's a fairly small club (about 50-60 folks). I had 6 riders at the start (4 men and another woman). It was raining off and on (In Southern Califronia? No way!), so the other went back and got her rain jacket (she lives across the street. We did about 8 miles to first rest stop. The other lady had turn back to go to work.I had a flat shortly afterward. One of the guys held my bike while I changed it. We made it about 5 more miles beore it started to pour. I decided to cut it short. We went to a bagel shop and had some coffee. The we went across the street to a bike shop. One of the riders had lost his mirror and he wanted to buy another. Plus, the shop had recently changed hands and we wanted to see how the remodling was going along. Ater this , the testostrone fest started. I got dropped going 20 mph. Such fun. Made it back to the start. Only one rider there. He had gotten dropped, too. Rode back home and had lunch. About 40 miles
Since I am going to attempt a century in two week that has 8,00 feet of climbing (Ride Around the Bear), I decided to get some mile in. I did a quick (1 1/2 hour) spind down to a airport. I also did some multi tasking, since I have put in charge of attracting "slower" rides to our club, I was checking out a new route. Should debut in July. We usually do shorter rides then to avoid the heat.
