That Was Sick!

After almost a full week of illness, I decided to head out yesterday for an easy spin up to the Post Office to send out some mail. It was the warmest part of the day and that full sun sure felt good! After more than a week off the machine, I was really anxious to see how the old body would do. I am delighted to report that I made the whole distance (12 miles) at a blazing pace! (11.1mph average...including the 28mph downhill on 12th Avenue). The beastly ride was so brutal that I spent the next 2 hours on the sofa in my family room coughing and hacking while watching reruns of the Brady Bunch. Talk about sick!

Well, I'm feeling a bit better today, but still not back to 100%. This has been some nasty flu! However, I am really looking forward to getting in a few miles this week with the COUCs. Did I mention EASY miles?! (I'm using the word "easy" here to describe the pace that I am looking forward to while riding with the Cast Of Unusual Characters. That was my best impersonation of Melvin Udaul.) And what a schedule of rides we have scheduled on the schedule of rides scheduled...or something like that.

Here is your 2012 Thanksgiving Holiday Riding Schedule:

1. Wednesday at 8am at Maygarden and Summit. 30 miles at a moderate pace. This is Crusher's pre-feast no guilt ride.

2. Thanksgiving Day at 8am at Maygarden and Summit for this 20 to 25 mile Starbucks ride. This annual parade pace is the social event of the Holiday Ride Schedule. Come on out and bring your spouse or significant other! (uh...just not both.)

3. Friday at 8am leaving from the Fish and Wildlife launch pad. This will keep us far away from the Black Friday madness in the shopping areas.

4. Saturday will see the peloton back at Maygarden and Summit at 8am for one of our usual loops.

5. Sunday at 3pm for the Mayo Cruiser Loop leaving from East Hill's favorite park; Bayview.

Come on out and burn off those mash potatoes and pumpkin pie! Hey, why not burn some calories before, during and after the feasting?! Look forward to seeing everyone and Happy Thanksgiving!!!

See you out on the road,
Bob
