Mosey Monday Ride

This Ride: 17.9 mi
Kona Miles: 1466.8 mi
Month to date: 118.0 mi
2010 Total: 1933.3 mi

Now that I’m back home after 2 weeks of travel, it is time to get regular again with rides with the Severna Park Peloton. Each 5:45 am ride has a theme, and Mondays are Mosey Monday. We had 4 riders launch from the Rusty Bridge and picked up 2 more within the first mile for a total of 6. The temps were warm (75-78) and humidity was high, but the company was great.  We averaged 16.7 mph.

The trail was unusually busy this morning.  We are getting to the time of the year when the sun is rising at its earliest and the temperature forecasts are high for the afternoon, so getting a walk, run, or ride in very early makes a lot of sense.

It was a good morning.  There was one “equipment malfunction” that took Chip a few minutes to fix while the rest of us waited and sweated.  When we jumped back on the bikes, it was amazing how cold it felt as the sweat evaporated.  I nearly shivered at one point.  There was a good amount of talk about the upcoming 1000K  ride Clint and Clif are planning to ride (around Lake Ontario) in coming weeks.

I’m not going to post the Garmin map today.  Nothing new there.
