Saturday's Pine Forest Loop which was scheduled to start at 7am will be changed to start at 8am. We will still meet at Firestone and Summit just at 8am instead of 7am. This change was due mainly to the temperature for tomorrow morning according to the latest forecast. At 7am it is high 40s and dark. At 8am it is mid 50s and sunny.
Actually, it is due to Coolio's insistence that it is too cold to start a ride at that early hour. (The boy missed his calling. He should have been a lobbyist.) Bobby; no more gifts and I really cannot accept that cruise to the Panama Canal...it's a very nice gesture but the riding public is starting to get suspicious. And for the record, no, I don't want any Pumpkin Spice Krispy Kremes! Thanks anyway.
Good ride last night. We did the Figure 9. (It's the standard Figure 8 without the loop at the bottom...thus it's a 9.) Good group with the Brizzard boys, Left Lane, Coolio, a new guy named Matt and your's truly. The pace was very moderate until Maygarden. Several pulls at low to mid 20s, then baby Brizzard took off with Coolio trying to draft him through the S curve. He looked pretty good until his tongue got caught in his front spokes...slowed him down quite a bit. Ever seen tongue road rash? It's okay Bobby, I understand your mouth heals quicker than the rest of your body.
Needless to say the young Jedi won the sprint.
If you are interested, in about an hour is the biweekly Fox's Friday Frolic ride. About 40 miles at a moderate pace. With the chilly temps, I would guess a stop at Starbucks may be in order...I know it will be for tomorrow's ride!
Just a reminder that all ride details are on the Rides Calendar at the bottom of this blogazoidal.
See you out on the road,
Bob
