It was finally time to go to the Salmon Street Springs, the meeting point for tonight's ride.
And the fun begins!
My fixie, normally the most out there bike on a group ride, was one of the more conservative rides tonight. Stretched bikes, tall bikes, fatty bikes, mini-tall bikes, tall bike fixies, all sort of customized bikes.
There ended up being just over 100 folks.
We shoved off close to 8PM, 30 minutes later than the advertised time. We were a large group and commanded the lane, and in most cases ALL the lanes. After 90 minutes of riding the group stopped at a convenience store. A few snacks were procured, and more than a few cans of adult beverages.
We headed out again and this time we were on more open streets and picked the pace up a bit. The group strung out.
We'd regroup at traffic signals from time to time.
The leader took us south along the Springwater Trail. When we got to Oaks Bottom we went trail riding and ended up on a secluded beach. Ah, so that is what everybody was buying beverages and snacks for! A few folks couldn't resist the river right there, and the cover of darkness. Swimming looked a bit too cold for me.
I left after a short time. It looked like the rest were going to be there awhile and I've got plans for the morning.
It was a nice ride back.
Too bad I didn't have my camera with me, the phone's camera really shows its limitations when it's dark.
