After riding alongside my wife for three and a half miles while she ran, and then meeting up with my biking mates at the car park, I was left with a choice of either riding with the fast group or riding with the slower group. I opted for the slow group mainly because of this morning’s anticipated high-volume of traffic. You know what it’s like the day after Christmas, hordes of gift recipients rush to the shopping malls to exchange their gifts for something else or they exchange them for the correct size and/or color.
The second reason I chose to ride with the slower group was because I can’t keep up with the faster group. A steady 27 mph on the lanes in Weston is a bit much for this old codger.
I thoroughly enjoyed today’s bike ride, though. There is something special about being able to talk while you ride, not to mention being able to look around the terrain without fear of rear-end collisions. More to the point, it is nice to be able to view something other than your mate’s rump and his spinning rear wheel. You guys out there can surely relate!
Heading northbound towards the coffee shoppe, the wind was negligible. Zilch, zero! That made for an easy outbound ride. Not surprising, though, was when the wind began coming out of the SSW at a steady 15 to 20 mph immediately after leaving the coffee shoppe one hour after arriving – right in our faces.
Average Temperature: 77.7F
