New and Improved - FWBA Bicycles Inc Century (Read 1812 times)

Bud_Bent Moderator Posts: 3310	New and Improved - FWBA Bicycles Inc Century Nov 6^th, 2007, 12:33pm Well, maybe my gripe in the FWBA yahoo group helped; FWBA is claiming an improved route for this coming Sunday's version. They say no more riding over the gravel patches, and a less busy route back. I may try it again. More info here.

Bud_Bent Moderator Posts: 3310	Re: New and Improved - FWBA Bicycles Inc Century Reply #1 - Nov 6^th, 2007, 6:34pm Rose is thinking about doing the 38 mile route. As I recall, last time I did this ride, there was a large group doing the shorter distance. Bicycles Inc does sag and snacks, so if the route is smooth, this might be a good ride.

The ride went well...several people showed up. A few tandums...we were the only recumbent tandem. It's been a long time since I have done 37miles in one day, and of course my first big club ride. A few of the women asked me the same question..." Is that bike...or (thing) confortable?" And of course ya know my answer!!
