I started out this morning riding
at a 10 mph pace around the mall parking area.
While on the west side of the mall, I couldn’t help but notice the long line
of cars at our new Chick-fil-a’s drive-in window. It was a surprise to me that a chicken
fast-food joint serves breakfast. Live
and learn!
I then met up with Tom, Sandy S, Rey, Ed and Gary at our usual meet-up place, gabbed a bit and then headed towards the coffee shoppe in Weston. Sandy’s Garmin Edge began misbehaving, so I dropped back and basically rode with him most of the way to the feeding trough (coffee and bagel shoppe).
After re-grouping at the coffee shoppe and then replenishing what we burned the first twelve miles, Tom, Sandy S and I vectored off in a westerly direction heading for Weston’s notorious bike lanes. The other three rode directly back to the barn at a much slower pace.
From the coffee shoppe back to the starting point of this morning’s ride, the three of us maintained a pace between 16-22 mph. Had it not been for a blasted traffic signal that turned RED, we would have PR’d this one particular segment. We will keep trying, and one of these days we’re going to rule the roost on that specific road.
All in all, a nice 36 miler with super nice mates.
