Thursday Urban Ride...meh...should have gone out solo. Turnout was anorexic at best, but did teach me something. If the temps are below @ 50, there's little reason to venture over to Cayce. It was 52 degrees, and the yelping about the cold was borderline incessant. People...52 degrees isn't cold.
My heart really wasn't in it, so I peeled off and rolled home. Still got almost 2 hours, and got rid of some 'stuff'.
Saturday was 48 and dreary, but a good turnout nonetheless. It's a shame the group couldn't find it within themselves to stay together. One good group turned into 3 mini-groups that were spread all over Lower Richland. Dumb. TVH and I had a good ride anyway.
This morning was 55, damp, and threatened rain. I showed up at the spot, waited the commensurate 5 minutes after the planned time of departure, and rolled out solo. I thought the 15 minute grace period was over and done with since The Hive left the group. Guess not...
I had a really nice spin ride out thru LexCo, got a bit wet, and had a really nice section of tailwind tempo on the dirt to get home. Old State was in great shape. I rolled thru Cayce, and up Gervais, into campus and Five Points, then home. Got a nice 2:15 on the bike. Speaking of, the Ridley is filthy...and I mean Flemish-speaking Belgian filthy.
Whatever my loving children brought into the house is taking it's sweet time to make egress from my lungs. Nothing like coughing like an aged coal miner for 2 hours of a ride!
Picture time...

It was the Niels Albert show today...and I think I should be concerned my kids can pick out Sven Nys and Niels Albert from the Vier sports commentator's Flemish.
