Title: Easy Riding Post by jcsadowski on Dec 3rd, 2008, 5:34pm To dispell the impression that all the rbenters ride 200K every weekend and then maybe again on Sunday. I thought i would post my ride. I started at Anderson Bonner Park and pushed 21 mile headwinds down the trail and around the lake to meet two other benters at Barbecs for breakfast at 8:30. After breakfast we started around the lake and a Tour Easy joined the group. After two loops around the lake I turned left and headed back up the trail for a total of 35 miles. The wind was rough, at times, trying to push us off the path or just slow us down. Sometimes it was hard to maintain a speed of 9 MPH. JohnS |

Title: Re: Easy Riding Post by Bud_Bent on Dec 3rd, 2008, 7:20pm It got so windy this evening, I cut my ride off at 17 miles. So, if we're trying for the shortest ride of the day, I win. ;D If Terry rode, he's probably got me beat, though... |

Title: Re: Easy Riding Post by aikigreg on Dec 3rd, 2008, 8:50pm Hey, I would LOVE to see more ride reports from more than just us Randonneurs. I know everybody's riding, but we don't get to hear much about it! For now at least most of my rides are going to be on the trainer once I get it set up this weekend. |

Something minor, I hope. We as a group are not having a great track record - good thing we're not trying to buy group insurance together ;) |

Title: Re: Easy Riding Post by Jonvee on Dec 6th, 2008, 11:07pm A couple of my co-workers and I rode RLP last Monday night. We park at the ball parks near Fielder . We left at 11:30pm. It was about 30 degrees. We rode the eastern leg. About 14.5 miles. RLP is wonderful at night. When its that cold not to many varmints to dodge. We do a late ride just about every week. |
