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.
