Ride Schedule Change for Thursday and Friday

We have decided to change the start times of the scheduled rides on Thursday and Friday of this week. The original times were 8am. However, after checking the weather forecast and discussing with those of you who have, in fact, been riding, we decided to move the start times to 1pm for both days. This will also enable several of you who have mentioned you are getting off at noon on Friday to participate as well. Please see the Rides Calendar at the bottom...well, you know where it is!

Everyday this week we have had some hilarious antics within the small peloton. Good fun! Today we did the UWF/Scenic Hills Loop. The winter cast of usual characters included; Coolio, the elder half of The Prenti, Foxinator, Tom Hereford, (who Coolio has nicknamed "Medivac"...don't ask) and yours truly. Actually, I was wondering about the Medivac nickname myself. But, when Tom showed up to the ride today wearing a jersey with large letters on the back reading, "Please Don't Run Me Over", well, I figured there may be a good reason for the nickname.

Coolio and the Foxinator went at it on almost every hill with Bobby winning most of them. (I'm sure he was anxious to redeem himself after the spanking he received at the hands of the big Clydesdale boy this past Monday on La Petit Alpe Duez. (See previous posting for the story) Don't get me wrong, the big boy won his fair share as well. However, on the most fought for summit the two amigos were neck and neck when, out of nowhere comes the elder half of The Prenti! He blew past them like a driveby egging on prom night and won the climb, thus possessing, albeit temporarily, the Polka Dot Jersey. This was met with great amusement by all but the little climber who seemed a bit, shall we say, peeved?!

However, by the end of the day, the Crusty Climbing (Donut Consuming) Curmudgeon had locked up enough points to secure the coveted King of the Mountains title once again. Congratulations Coolio!!!

Great fun on an absolutely beautiful cycling day! Tomorrow and Friday are forecast to be a bit chillier but come on out for some exercise before the feasting of the Holiday Weekend!

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

See you out on the road,
Bob
