Two days in a row!

like Summer that is.

Not quite as warm as yesterday, and a bit windier by afternoon, but still a great day.

I began the day with a ride of the Snoozeville Populaire route. It was a nice metric century route that began at the same location that I needed to be at for a social group ride at 10AM. Perfect timing. I started early and traffic wasn't a concern.

Our social bike group had a ride today to honor Paul J's birthday. 10 of us rode a 40 mile route that climbed up to Skyline via Springville Rd then followed Skyline out to Rocky Point.



We didn't tarry long as we had to get back to our start point shortly after 1PM to lead a group of less experienced riders. The nice weather brought them out in force. We divided up our original group a bit to make sure that no "newbie" would end up with any problems with no one to help point them in the right direction.


The wind was picking up a bit as the day progressed and as we pedaled back even our less experienced riders saw 20+ mph on their speedometers as we blasted down Evergreen Rd.

We retired to a local pub for our "post ride debriefing." Carol had brought a bag of HUGE pink and white marshmallows. No one was quite sure what to do with them. They were stacked like children's blocks:

They were used as sunglasses:

And finally they were even tried as seat cushions:

Oh, and a few were eaten also!

It was a good day and a great time was had by all.

All tallied, my Snoozeville preride, Paul's birthday ride, and the newbie ride gave me 116 miles for the day. I didn't ride it hard, but rode it none the less.

It was a nice weekend on the bike.
