Well yesterday it was just Matt and I on the BOT ride. This is now a leaderless ride as it is getting darker earlier. This means some folks were pulling out as early as 5:30. We left around 5:50 and had a fun ride through Mtn. Brook. We kept waiting for the BIG GROUP to catch up and when they did WOW. Matt said "Look who's coming?" and then he told one of the guys we had been waiting on them which was real funny. Now seriously, we hooked on to the back and through some careful traffic light maneuvering stayed with the lead group through Irondale. To me this was a lot of fun. Then we headed up Hwy 78 and Matt got about a mile ahead of me and I didn't see him again until the car. Met a new cyclist, Brad, on Old Leeds Rd. He had only been riding 5 days but he had a new Giant bicycle and was riding well for his first time out (probably didn't hurt that he has been a runner for 10 years). Great ride 20.5 miles averaging between 14-15 mph. Next week we will leave at 5:30 to help avoid the darkness. Below Matt points out my place in line is somewhere BEHIND HIM!!!! LOL!!!
