Ride for 9-27-08

Riders,
Yeah, you can buy speed.. this pic looks like it's moving fast.. just standing still!!! WOW, what a ride!!!

Last Saturday was a great day to ride. It was cool enough for arm warmers and breezy enough to stay in a paceline. After a long hiatus away from the SVR, we welcomed back The General and The Coach. It was nice to have them there to pull us around the course. It could have been The Generals first ride in IMLP? But, I’m getting so old and forgetful that I might not have remembered other rides that he might have attended…. But, I know for sure, that it had been months and months since THE COACH had joined our little merry group of Saturday Morning Riders. And for those who missed last weeks ride, you missed the NameSake running through the peleton… of course, the peleton was parked… and he was jogging… We did catch him on Shackleburg!!!

Here’s a shout out to those elite athletes competing in the SC Half… a half iron distance… 1.2 mile swim… 56 miles of riding pleasure… followed a 13.1 mile run!!!! According to public records, a shout goes to Brooks, Ken, Whaley, Jamie McD from Easley and Bob’s relay team of Swimmer Dave, TT-Bob and an out-of-state, sand-bagger of a runner!!! Of course, best of luck to the PRO level athletes too….

The Clemson game has a 12noon kickoff… but, that’s been the same for the past 3 weekends… our route keeps us off the road of the tailgating traffic!!! And you can go home, get in the LAZY-BOY and watch the game on TV!!!

So, join us for more fun than is legally allowed. Wheels roll at 0800 from New Springs Parking Lot… the route includes Simms Mill… and total miles ~45 +/-. If you’re new to the group, give us a shout and we’ll keep an eye on you during the ride.

Come fueled, locked, loaded and ready to ride.
