This ride report is way late, apologies to all involved. Work and home have been keeping me hopping, but I've finally have a free minute, so here we go. The weather forecast for this ride was to be one of the hottest days of the year. Before this forecast I had about 16 riders saying they were coming. After the forecast there were 5 riders with 5 more coming for breakfast. Some folks were ill and others had work, but of the ten that bailed, I'm not sure. 6 months from now I wonder if they will be the one's saying it's to cold to ride? Okay, enough joking around...
The day started pretty mild but got hot as it went. After lunch, it was hot and some of us started to fade. Either way, it was a good ride. There were no crashes and no entanglements with law enforcement. Breakfast was a good time to catch up on work/family/bike issues and who took a spill at the track. We all had fun over sharing stories, pictures, videos and Splenda packets. The ride down to lunch was good but traffic was a constant interruption. I'd say we were in traffic 70% of the time for the whole day of this ride. When we weren't we did have fun riding in a big way.
