MONDAY MORNING COFFEE SHOP BIKE RIDE

I-75 Through Weston, Fl
This morning’s ride was essentially a carbon copy of many past rides when prior to meeting up with my biking buddies, I would escort my wife on my road bike while she ran. This morning's bike ride was one of those rides!

After riding alongside my wife for 4 ½ miles, I then joined my cycling amigos for a 26 mile ride to and from the infamous Weston coffee shop, crossing Interstate 75 twice for some much-needed hill training.

While crossing I-75 for the second time, I took a photo from atop the bridge showing what our wide interstate highway looks like shortly after morning rush hour. That’s when I was basically dropped by everyone except for Sandy S, who slowed and then circled on a side road until I finished taking my photo.

In my opinion, Sandy S is an outstanding wheel-mate.
