EIGHT IS ENOUGH

Eight is enough, not only in the defunct TV series but in group cycling as well. Consequently, there were eight of us during today’s Intermediate club ride that took us on several of the bike lanes in attractive, perfectly manicured, sub-tropical Weston, Florida, an upscale city that lies on the eastern edge of the Florida Everglades.

Getting a late start from the car park, we zig zagged our way through the industrial-park area, along the wide bike lane that leads into Markham County Park, and then onto the semi-safe bike lanes of Bonaventure and Weston, stopping only once at a local Publix Food Market at mile 20 for a potty break.

Our eight-person peloton consisted of five guys and three gals of all age groups and ethnic groups. Shari, our leader, led us while riding her two-wheel recumbent. All other riders had road bikes from seven different manufactures. 

Diversity was surely the order of the day.
