| Bob With Mt. Trashmore in Background |
I had already logged in six miles previous to meeting up with my cyclists friends, so my distance stats will show more total miles.
In all, we rode through four cities and one converted dump. The dump, as @Sandy S accurately explained, used to be a landfill that in time turned toxic. Although the name of the converted dump is currently called Vista View Park because of its relatively high elevation, many people in our community call it Mount Trashmore.
The mountain of trash's steep incline is training grounds for many local cyclists.
Anyway, the entire ride was enjoyable and the second half of the ride was slightly above my normal skill level, or speed level. But that's okay, because I occasionally need pushed by the faster boys - and that they did with smiles on their faces.
As far as the weather went, nary a cloud was seen in the sky and the temperature was a pleasant 65 degrees in the beginning and a warm 78 at ride's end. The 5 to 8 mph wind was coming from the northwest, which gave us a helping tailwind most of the way back to the barn.
