Perfect day!



What a perfect day to ride , my self and some of the usual suspects met up this AM at SBRR. We started out riding with DanO's group and broke off around mile 25 to head further east for some bonus miles.We ended up hitting then tank loops and IPBP before heading back.There were four of us all together and we managed to keep a decent pace even though they had to wait for me a the few times as I was spit out the back. I felt good most of the ride even on the hillls and into the wind , just not quite as fast as I used to be , oh well just need to keep training.....

First 100+ mile weekend of 09



I finally managed to get in over 100 miles this past weekend.We rode about 60 miles saturday with a total of 5 flats , 2 of which were mine resulting in a destroyed rear tire.The best part of the tire self destructing was that it was brand new! I new I shouldnt have announced to the group"hey guys check out my new tire" in the parking lot before the ride. oh well it was a great day with nice weather.

The ride was 3 loops around the Manorville are with the climb up 51 throw in at the end of each lap. We had a fairly strong group but all the stoping and the wind slowed us down a bit.Still a fun ride.
Sunday was the training ride we had a head wind for what seemed like the entire ride.Myself and a few othe rriders broke off from the main group after the half way point and pushed the pace a bit faster on the ride home.I think next week is 70 and the weather is suppose to be perfect....cant wait.
