I rode this ride today; my first with the Gyros and not a good choice > for a guy who's been cycling 7 weeks. I figured "hey, I've ridden 60 > miles at 19 mph, I can handle it. After hitting the rest stop after > riding, what seemed like a never ending amount of hills, I asked the > guys "hey is there a way back that I can take that is flat"
> I have to thank the group for slowing the pace for the rest of the > ride for me...I had no expectation of this. Furthermore, as my legs > became increasingly immobilized by cramps, Don held back with me, and > honestly ensured I made it back to the start in one piece. What > generosity and compassion from a groups of guys I have never met! I > can't thank you enough and it speaks volumes to the character of the > the people riding with the Gyros. Andy, pushed me a bit on one hill > and gave me some pills, I have no idea what, when I got back. Don > gave me alka seltzer, drinks, and even a banana; Don was like ems for > me during the last 15 miles. > Just had to post this as I was honestly so surprised and grateful for > the help I received. It's not all about the bike, and the character > shown today was remarkable. > Yes, I did learn my lesson, and won't crash a ride, if I am not > certain I can't make it....Thanks again > Joel -- You received this message because you subscribed to the Gyro email group.
