Easy Riding
Dec 3
rd
, 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.

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.
If Terry rode, he's probably got me beat, though...

Yea, it is not fair.

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.

I got about two weeks of riding because i'm going in for surgery on the 26 and the Doc said no exercise for two to three weeks. ErrrrG

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

I think there is a Surgeon named Dr Frankenstein that is assembling a Cat-5 super bent racer from spare parts removed from you guys during surgery!

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.

I had a massive 7.11 miles today, and tailwinds in both directions. I ride my bike to church every Sunday.

I ride my bike to ride my bike, and sometimes it takes me where I need to go.
