What a great summer! so far… The weather has been awesome and every bike ride we have done with the group has been rain and mostly sweat free. There was that one Sunday in Xenia that was in the 90s. 25 miles felt like 40.. Lot’s of water.
When I refer to the group it is anywhere from 4 to 15 riders that all have one thing in common. We like to ride our “whatever” bikes but mostly recumbents. Most folks in the group that ride those funny looking sitty-upright-tall bikes are working on getting into the right recumbent for them.
The best thing about our group is we like to go at an even pace. No race! Nice easy rides. Our team captain, if you would, is Denny who works part time and off site for the local bike shop. He is the recumbent expert for the store and set’s people up in proper fashion. He hes gathered this group via an email list that has grown to about 30 folks and every week we try and gather at some trail within an hour’s drive. Sort of forces one to be there on time, well forces you to just be there at all if you know what I mean.
Yesterday I did a Saturday morning ride with three others on the south part of town. Started at 7am. Yeah.. my time of day. 32 miles before noon which included a stop at the coffee shop for a sit down breakfast and good company. Today we are all gathering at Scott and Lynn’s, after a ride of course, for a barbecue.
We will have many more rides and many more stories to tell about them…
