Title: PBA Popsicle 06/09
Post by Kwijybow on Jun 10^th, 2009, 1:02am

I had a nice time tonight riding with Bryan and Shellene at the back of the B group. I was short on time, and at the third stop for flats / mechanicals I rolled back to the start with Shellene. Seems like a good ride, and doing the group thing definitely gets my heart rate places it hasn't been in awhile.

I finished up the roll in the YashicaMat with a pre-ride shot of Bryan and Shellene:

Take Care,
Nelson.

Sorry I couldn't make it out last night - I had planned to, but domesticity got in the way...

I intend to try and make it a semi-regular thing on Tuesdays. I need the higher speed workout for sure. Domesticity definitely takes precedence, and last night was a bit wonky with the starts and stops. Still it was fun hitting 40mph on Los Rios! The only other place I've touched the 40's in Plano is over on Windhaven.

See Ya next week hopefully,
Nelson.

It was great to have Nelson there. Paul, we missed seeing you.

Last night had tons of stops, and I hadn't encountered that before. I was overjoyed to ride back to the start with Nelson, since my legs were shot and it let us ride without the extended mechanical stops that the group was making. Ended up a little shorter than I thought, but I'm sure my legs appreciated that. Hopefully the legs will be better on Thursday night. One day, I'm gonna develop some of those 'bent legs that everybody keeps talking about......It's kinda depressing to finish a ride with a great energy level but the legs are just refusing to work anymore.

Steve, when you go to Austin do you bring your bike? There are lots of good rides available during the evenings.

Unless it's raining we should be there, not sure how much we'll have in us though, planning a 230k ride Monday afternoon.

Wow, you guys missed a really good Popsicle ride. Not a single mechanical for the entire ride!!!!!

And to boot, I never got dropped, so I was ecstatic [smiley=laugh.gif] The ride ended with a 20.5mph average on my computer. Now that's more like it!

We'll see ya Tuesday, but my legs will most likely be pretty beat up again. Pretty tough training is lined up for Monday. Y'all have some good rides this weekend!
