After riding alongside my wife for 5.05 miles while she did a training run, I joined my three cycling mates for 21 additional miles.
Because of the threat of rain, we altered our route in order to be closer to cover. It never did rain!
We experienced one mechanical when my front tire suddenly went flat after I ran over a medium-sized rock in Griffin Road’s westbound bike lane. It was a pinch type flat.
As good luck would have it, where we stopped for coffee was next door to a local bike shop, where I used their air pump to replace the cartridge air with real air.
Shortly after leaving the bike and coffee shops, we rode our bikes atop Mt. Trashmore in Davie, Florida. The 1/4 mile climb was a mere 8% gradient.
Mt. Trashmore, according to my Garmin Edge 500, is only 50 feet above sea level, yet down here in South Florida we call that a mountain.
