On a morning when I wasn’t sure who was going to show up for our Monday morning bike ride, I was pleased to see that Rey, Tom, Steve and Sandy had saddled up and were ready for some fun miles. With the average temperature right at 79F, and the sky absolutely clear, how could we not enjoy riding our bikes in the temperate sub-tropics of South Florida!?
We took our usual route to the coffee shop, enjoyed our individual drinks and eats, and then decided on a different route back to the shopping mall. By then, however, the wind had picked up considerably, pressuring us to pace-line nearly the entire distance back to the mall’s starting point. I don’t mind pace-lining with these guys because everyone in this particular group is a seasoned cyclists.
Riding through the Southwest Ranches is always enjoyable and downright peaceful. What little traffic that we do encounter is usually on the lookout for bicycles, motorcycles and slow-moving tractors. Let’s include geese and ducks with those!
Nice, fast-moving pace-line down Flamingo Road, with a top speed of 24.3 mph.
Time for breakfast…
