This morning’s club bike ride, the South Broward Wheeler’s Intermediate Ride, was the type of ride that seemingly had zillions of turns, slow-downs and stops, resulting in an overall pace of only 13.4 mph.
But it was a fun ride, starting out with six riders and then lessening to three riders at the halfway point. The three that left the group had ridden their bikes to the Meetup place, so they finished their day’s ride by heading home on their individual bikes. The three that remained was me on my road bike and two ladies on their recumbent bikes.
We rode through manicured residential areas, business districts and golf course pathways. All were nearly void of vehicular or golf-cart traffic. We did occasionally have to cross a busy street or intersection, but even that wasn’t bad. It seemed as though everyone was biker friendly today.
With an average HR of only 109, obviously this was not the type of ride where aerobics was a priority. It was what it was, an enjoyable neighborhood ride where we could actually look at something other than the buttocks of the lead riders.
Then again, riding with two young ladies on recumbent bikes? Hum, maybe fast pace-line riding isn’t that bad after all. LOL
