It was a beautiful 60° F this morning and anticipating a fast ride with the group (Terrible Tuesday) I rolled out early to get in a few extra miles before speed was demanded.  Six riders were out, including Clint, Cliff, and Dan who all rode the epic Flèche last weekend.  Clint was on the fixie and was planning to just get a recovery ride in.  Mike, Cliff, and I accompanied him on an easy ride.  When Dave took off for the fast ride, Dan couldn’t let him go, and so chased after him.

We talked Flèche most of the ride, with stories about rain, lightning, winds, flats, crashes, detours around flooded bridges, traversing ponded roads, a cut tire, and the like.  Dan is working on a ride report, but expects it to take a few more days because of work demands.  It was all very entertaining.
