Second Longest Ride

Yesterday was just a really fun day to ride, although I was getting pretty leg weary at the end.  Jerry, Bill and Rob opted for a forty miler at the Smithville Trail due to not getting much riding time yet.  Sean and I have been getting together for longer rides and we have a little more time in the saddle, so we added on another 20 miles.

The weather was very favorable although we did fight some wind problems here and there.  Fortunately, there was plenty of tree cover to shield us for most of the ride.

What made this particular ride special was that five of the eight guys, committed to our KATY Trail ride in October, were riding together for the first time since we formed the team.  Lots of fun and guy stuff!  Plans were discussed regarding future, and longer, rides on weekends.

I only posted 84 miles during the week of June 2-8, but have a great start on this week with the sixty miles logged Sunday.

It's going to be a fun and interesting summer!

Mike,
Thank goodness you saved the northern, treed leg for your last segment Sunday. That at least cut the wind down for you! You and Sean both looked very strong!
