Riders,
Well, last Saturday, it just didn't happen for me... there was no ride... no spin, no turning the cranks, no burning calories, no pacelining, and no drafting..(if you want an editorial on drafting, race marshals and penalty tents, you'll have to ask DiveBomb Dillard...). For a brief moment, I felt good about not riding... until the 4 Musketeers rode up on bikes while I was doing some yard work... it was Mr & Mrs and two good friends... and then, all the sudden there was a 5th rider... they were kitted and ready to ride out to Macs at 2pm... and I was dressed for yard work... I was burning with "ride envy"...
so, I'll declare my intentions... for this Saturday, I am riding to Macs and back.. nothing more, nothing less... and I'm riding at "Madden Pace".. which is defined as whatever I'm riding at the moment in time...
This will be the first ride since November 7... a day that will live in infamy... (that's a historical line for sure, eh?)... this pic is what "we" started with on THAT day... we're missing Mr. Vance in the pic... it was a day I'll never forget!!!
the group meets at the parking lot of New Spring church for a "wheels up" time of 0800... the entire loop is 42 miles, +/-....
