I want to come out, but I had a really hard time today in the pool, so I'm going with a about 80% chance I'll be there

We had a huge turnout again tonight. Thanks to Jon for leading the fast group and Jim H for leading the middle group. I had 5 riders in my group. My stats are posted here.

Great Ride tonight! Tom and me got in 25 miles, we turned back early from Jon's group. Had to hit the grocery store or the dog was going on a hunger strike. We ended with a 16.3 avg.

Great to see everyone again!! I gotta get me one of those new things like Jon has...holds the bike upright when you walk away from it...that was COOL! (and slightly hilarious)

I was in Jon's group and finished with 35 miles at 17.3 average, which sounds a bit too high. It was a really enjoyable ride and not as hot and humid as I expected.

They might not have them on their website, but I know they have a big bin of them in the store, so don't give up hope yet!

Cool

I did not understand what the big deal is about the thing Jon has that keeps if bike from falling over - my trike never falls over - OH well!

Wow great ride and fast - my GPS data is messed up - must have turned the time back on while we were eating the average speed is wrong but the track is correct so I posted it. Before I messed up the GPS it had reported a 34.6 mile ride with an average speed of 17.0 mph - no wonder I am tired.

Once again - Great ride - lots of fun, nice to see everyone and meet some new riders.
Turtle say HI!

My messed up GPS data is here

My pictures are here

Turtles Blog is here - this is still a work in progress.

Sounds like I missed a good ride. I ended up by having to work until 10:00 last night. I think I'm more sore from working than I would have been from riding!!!

I will be back next week. Without fail.

Ben and I were wondering where you were, Todd. I am sorry you had to work late, but at least you have a job. I look forward to riding with you next week.
