Chris and I were the only ones to ride. It was COLD in the morning! My hands were numb. Of course, it was finally warming up when we finished. We decided to take the obligatory post-ride photo. Ok, let me get this straight. I understand (sort of) closing my eyes every time I have a photo taken inside due to the flash... But OUTSIDE?!!! What the heck?!!
PLEASE NOTE: The shop ride will be starting at 9AM next week.
I met Eddie for the pre-ride breakfast at Waffle House. I was still wiped out from the night before. We did the ride, but I will admit that I was dragging. It was a gorgeous day and perfect weather. I really had a great time, and I am glad I got out. We all rode our BLUE bikes, so we should now be called "BLUE's clues" (or "clueless"). Afterward, we hit Mellow Mushroom for pizza as a break from the regular of Mexican.
Ride leaves from the parking lot of The Bicycle Doctor Sundays at 11AM. Currently we are developing the ride route (toward the Duluth area), so there is no map, although a map will be posted as soon it has been solidified. The ride will be approximately 25-30 miles currently, with longer options in the future. During the winter months the pace will be 16-18mph average until the race season approaches. As spring nears, the pace will increase to that of a true training ride. A ride leader will be appointed each week. Due to my race schedule this spring (mountain bike, duathlon, and possibly road), I will attend rides when possible.
