RIDE OF SILENCE  MAY 20th
May 4th, 2009, 9:26pm
 
I would like to ride the Dallas ROS again this year if they will be at White Rock Lake again.

Anyone else interested in making it? Smiley

I'll be at WRL with red and black arm bands. Smiley

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

Key Largo was there on his Catrike 700 and I was there on my Corsa. We were in the middle of the pack. Didn't see you. Did you make it?

I was surrounded by rabid fans of my blog, and could hardly do anything all during the ride. Smiley Actually I was up almost on the bumper of the cop car leading the ride, showing off how well Gigi climbed Cool It was interesting watching the other bikes "going backwards" as the road tilted up a bit. I was hearing lots of huffing and puffing around me as I just barely got my heart rate going.

No wonder I didn't see you.  Smiley
 
It was a little dicey back in the pack. A lot of stopping and starting, riding at almost stall speed, and inexperienced riders weaving around in close quarters. The Corsa was a poor choice. Next year I will take my trike.
