OUT AND BACK BIKE RIDE

We had ten riders this morning split into two groups, the group that turned left on Stirling Road and the group that turned right on Stirling Road. I turned right with the slower of the two groups.

Rendezvousing at the same coffee shoppe only minutes apart, both groups sat around enjoying coffee, juice and various snacks. We talked about future rides taking place in our beautiful State of Florida. I’m doing three of them this year.

It only rained once, and that was when we were underneath the overhang at the coffee shoppe.

Once on the road, most of the liquid stuff had disappeared. The puddles that didn’t evaporate made sure that the backs of our riding jerseys were streaked with road dirt. A little bit of Spray ‘n Wash will take care of that.

A quick 20 minute cleaning job has my bike spic ‘n span and ready to go for the next ride, which will be this coming Saturday in hilly Sebring, FL U.S.A.
