Yikes!

Our social bike club's Grand Pooh Bah organized a ride today out in the Helvetia area. He didn't have it start until 1PM. Normally I would have ridden to that ride, but today I didn't want to get too many miles as I'm trying to coordinate the rolling over of 10,000 miles with a gathering/celebration I have planned for next Sunday.

It was a really nice day to ride, so I drove to near the start, but a few hours early and went for a little pre-ride.

I almost overdid it! I'm leading a 38 mile ride tomorrow night, and a Christmas Caroling ride of 15-20 miles on Thursday so I really didn't want to get more than about 60 today. It's hard to stop riding when the weather is so nice!

8 of us joined in on the ride this afternoon, and followed the ride with a stop at the locally famous Helvetia Tavern.

We had a good time riding and a good time talking about riding. ;-)

I just got a few more miles than I intended. I think it's the first time I've had over 90 miles that I DID NOT just keep pedaling and go for the 100!
