Boy, I've been remiss in updating the blog for the past few weeks. Summertime hits, and I tend to be busy with doing, rather than writing.
First, to the hardy souls who came out for the Miesville Gents ride, thanks! I had a ball, and we'll do that again sometime. For those who missed it, well - you missed it.
This weekend is something a little different, a little social and probably a little lower key for some. We're riding <gasp> on the road!
The ride is out of River Falls and takes in some of the prettiest pastoral scenery around. We generally average seeing about a car/mile on these rides, and while not all the pavement is butter smooth, it's all better than your average Minnesota pavement. A couple of good climbs, a screaming descent or two, and generally a nice group ride. I'd guess my group will average around 14mph for the distance (including photo ops), and will not be a testosterone filled hammerfest!
(Your mileage may vary - I know some people can't ride that slow, and that's your privilege, too.)
Hoffman Park has a nice bathroom with flushies, and we generally wind up at the Dish&Spoon cafe for lunch after.
Rules:
1. Be NICE
2. Have fun
3. Wear your helmet. If you don't want to wear one, please don't come on my rides.
4. Enjoy the scenery
