incredible! november 25th and by ride's end, at only 12.00 noon, the temp was already 66 degrees, with nothing but blue sky and refreshing breezes. simply amazing. this a.m. the LBC had a short or long ride (17/40) going out of downtown, so i took Bardstown all the way down to the river to partake. i figure i could get in close to 30 if i only did the short ride plus my commute, or take in the long one and get a good, long day in. my mechanical misfortune, a broken spoke at about mile 20, kept me from doing the long ride, but i still had a wonderful time. the saturday a.m. ride is apparently usually a casual affair, with the group doing a short loop out to Shawnee, hence the 17, and then it loops out to Iroquois, giving the full 40. it was a nice group and a comfortable pace. i think this might be my saturday winter usual, b/c i can access it from home and it's flexible. good stuff, even with a bad spoke. AND that's why i have bikes with tire room instead of supertight racies. i would've been stuck in my tracks with a Trek 7500LanceSuperSpecial.
