This week's rides have seen some real frisky riding at the front. Tuesday's ride was a hammerfest with one of the big Clydesdale boys taking out the sprint. Wednesday evening saw more of the same with speeds well into the 30s on both Langley and Maygarden. (You would think we were in the Tour!) Including some real rompin', stompin' head buttin' sprints.
Last night, Left Lane, Happy Harland and myself headed downtown after doing a loop up north with Johnny Brizzard...uh, Rockets, not El Presidante'. When we stopped at the end of Palafox Pier we looked to the north only to see a massive thunderstorm heading our way. Needless to say, we hammered home. (Too much hammering this week!) Although, I pulled into the garage just as the heavens opened up.
This Weekend's Ride Schedule:
Saturday morning at 7am at Fish and Wildlife. Looks like the breeze will be out of the southeast which would indicate a Soundside Loop or something in that direction...so we can enjoy the Tailwind Express on the way back! If we do Soundside it is about 45 miles. If you want to meet us on the south side of 3 Mile Bridge, we should be there around 7:15am or so.
Sunday afternoon at 3pm at Firestone and Summit. Should be an easy to moderate pace for about 25 to 35 miles.
See you out on the road,
Bob

"Happy Harland" ? Guess it could've been worse. . . Sneezy, Dopey, Grumpy or one of the other dwarves for instance.
