A good day

I got a bit of a surprise today. An old friend posted up on a local forum that he was looking for a "fast and long" ride and to call him if interested. I called and learned that another old friend would be in attendance.

Any time I hear that Roger and Barry are looking for a fast and long road ride, I know it is an event that I want to attend...these guys can roll.

I am learning this new mapping stuff...there was some areas where I doubled back on the route (getting to and from the meeting point). This new phone of mine is supposed to track my riding routes, distance, etc...some day I will figure that out too.

If riding with some old friends is not enough, we had some incredible weather to enjoy too. We met up when it was about 50 degrees and the bank said 62 when we finished about 3 hours later.
The wind was steady and stout(18 mph from the SW) all day, so we enjoyed some really fast tailwind sessions. You gotta love that feeling of flying low and the only sound you hear is the tires rolling smoothly on pavement.

It was a good day, and I earned whatever junk I decide to eat tomorrow as I watch commercials interrupted by football.

Sort of

Perhaps "forum" was not the best choice of words...but I suppose an interactive calendar for scheduling rides is sort of like a forum.

www.velocal.org is the URL. It is a great resource!
