Up early, and consumed grimmus proportions, large bowl of oatmeal w/granola, raisins, 3 boiled eggs and 2 pieces of toast w/ soy butter and jelly. O'boy it was good and topped off the energy reserves. Got out on the road by 10am and it was still a lil chilly, 35, but the sun was out and the temps were on the rise. First stop was at Wamsley's to pick up a few things and catch up with the team mates. To my surprise, Jeremy was ready to ditch work as soon as I dropped the word, way to go man. Steve is still under the weather, going on week 3 now. If someone knows of a secret far east remedy please sent it his way. I though that pimp'n new Modone would do the trick but guess I was wrong.
Jeremy and I had to high tail it to his place for him to do a quick change into his super suit and still make it time to Masson-Dixon park in time for the high noon start time. This required a pretty fast pace up Rt.100 and then to the park. We made it in time. Got to the park in time to see a good size group get'n ready to roll out. But had some time for a few pre-ride pics.
Let's see if I can remember the group. Adam A., Phil, Gunnar, Betsy, Chris, Kean, JR, Matt M., Sierra, Laura, Auvid, Trisha and Dave. Think that's it. We stayed with the group up route 7 to Blacksville and Rt. 218. At this point Jeremy and I decided to catch up with Adam and Phil who had broke off ahead. Didn't really want to leave the group but we were getting an uneasy feeling due to the 3 wide riding, funny stuff (not ha, ha) and failure to fall into line on already skechy roads. So we sped up a lil to avoid being road kill but had a hard time reeling in the other two.
Got to Waynesburg and met up with Adam and Phil. Then tried to find our way around the rest of the course. Didn't do a very good job, but oh well still had some good ride'n.
Got home with almost 5 hrs. and over 80 miles. Made it in time to get some grub and watch today's stage of the ToC. Livi still in the lead. Nicely done.
Twas a day of biking, and it was great.
Later,
Josh
