Tim's version. How about that Police and Sherriff escort all the way to the whirligig farm. Awesome! The lead group had like 10 riders to start but every time KP got up front she would toss a few off. :) Lamm road was a blast cruising with a tailwind at 25+. Not a good sign for things to come. We leave the first SAG stop with KP cruising 23 mph out of the box. We get her to slow down and wait for others but slow is still 20. By the time we get to 581 the lead group is down to 6 riders. Now we are riding straight into 20+ mph winds. How bad is it? Strong man Nick is pulling 16 mph downhill! The winds were brutal. KP is back out front. Oops there goes another rider (John)off the back. We are now down to 5. CoWs Tim S., Nick and I, with adopted CoW, Kinnie. Jeff from Spring Hope rounds out the group as we pull into the second SAG stop. Kim is my favorite support person today. Granola was A++++++++. We continue to battle headwinds all the way to 97. The group is working really well together. No breakaways with this wind. 97 is a tad easier as we turn east but total relief doesn't come until we turn south towards Cliftonville. Back on 58 our group is still together, but KP's turn is up and sure enough she tosses Tim S. off the back. He pulls up limping with cramps. We share no pity as we continue on. Back on Nash Street Jeff makes a few futile attempts at dropping the pack. Maybe next year! We finish up with a 19.7mph average. The wind wasn't giving out a 20 today! Great ride and great company. Recovery ride tomorrow! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CyclistsOfWilson-COWs" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
