A great day for a ride today! Sunny and not too cold. Perfect. After an inauspicious beginning, where we had 2 riders go off the front (you both know who you are!) in the first miles, and when we hit Peed we were already fragmented into 3 groups. I raised a fuss about this and Ed, Steve and I dropped back into Bert's group, but we still had 4 riders in 2 groups off the front.
At Old Weaver we were all back together and had a nice ride. Bert took the longest pull of the day and I think that he did this to set the tempo for the ride. Quite a sacrifice on his part but it worked. We were together until we hit that climb on Cheek just after the sprint to the county line. On Patterson it was Steve, Randy, Gary TLC, and myself. Randy did all of the navigating back to PU. Thanks Ran. Gary saw his girlfriend Wendy somewhere around Melvin Arnold and was ordered by her to split from us and draft her back to PU. A truly obedient Casper Milk toast from the Lone Star State. While on that subject I wanted to welcome Gary and Wendy to the Gyros. I had a very nice conversation with them after the ride and did not realize that they have only been in town for about a month. Wendy is a staunch Republican, and Gary is a bike mechanic!! I can have Gary working on my bike while Wendy and I talk politics!! Wow. Based on today's ride all that I have to do is have Wendy tell Gary what to do. (I hope that they have a good sense of humor!!) I plan on doing Kim's ride tomorrow, but, I plan on doing his ride every Sunday and I have only made a couple of them. Be safe, and stay warm. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you foolishly subscribed to the Gyro email group.
