ESCORTED NEW RIDER


Another new rider joined our midweek cycling group, so I took it upon myself to drop behind the already-fragmented pace line to help safely guide her through all of the streets, sidewalks and pathways on the way towards the coffee shoppe. She is a relatively slow rider but very safety minded, and safety is my game.

After leaving the Pembroke Lakes Mall at 8 AM, we made our way through sections of Pembroke Pines, Cooper City and Davie until we crossed over I-75 into Weston.  From there we were only a few revolutions of the crank away from Einstein’s Bagel Shoppe.

Due to her work schedule, our newbie rider rode back to the shopping mall with Rossanna prior to the group leaving Einstein's.  

A partial group photo was taken with one of the cyclists’ cell phone.  I’m the guy on the left wearing the Survivor Buff.  The new rider is standing on my left.     

Weather: 30 percent chance of showers, partly cloudy with a high near 82.  Windy, with a east wind around 23 mph, with gusts as high as 32 mph.  The wind gusts on the way back to the shopping mall felt more like 50 mph.
