10 of us from my social bike group took advantage of daylight saving time and started out this evening at 6PM for a few repeats of the two mile bike path that runs along Hwy 26 to Sylvan from the west side. Each circuit would yield 4 miles and 404 vertical feet of gain. The weather was sunny and temperature was 60 as we prepared to pedal.
The sun stayed up for us but the temperature began dropping quickly. In less than an hour it had dropped 10 degrees. None of us were quite dressed for that so after two hill repeats we bagged it and retired to Big Reds at the top of the hill for a little rehashing of the evening's ride.
It was Paul's first attempt at organizing a ride for our group and we all agreed that he had done well. Here we are raising our glasses in a toast to his leadership skills. ;-)
Each two mile climb gave us 404 ft of elevation gain. We'd roll back down the hill and repeat. I toodled around at the start as folks were getting ready and managed to get nearly a bonus mile in before we began.
I ended with 9 miles and 808 ft of climbing.
