Atlantis (the green one). I listed a mixed-terrain club ride every weekday this week. This morning I went to the rendezvous. Nobody. I waited until the appointed time, wearing my pink wool Riv hat to keep warm in the low 40s chill. Nobody. I gave up hope and went off to the bathroom, and when I came out there was my best friend on his carbon fiber bike with the 23 mm wide tires.
We rode up the long steep climb to get to the dirt part. When we were almost there, my friend spotted a dirt road going down, off to the side. "What's that?" "Waterwheel Canyon. We're supposed to do it on Friday's ride." "Let's do it NOW." And so we did, adding some more dirt downhill and uphill to the planned route. Despite his poor taste in bikes, or maybe because of it, my friend is an excellent bike handler, confidently handling his narrow tires on the steep gravel roads. No better way to start off the year than riding with friends.
