Dr. Tim announced a Saturday ride from Dunn Brothers at 11:00.
Wasn't necessarily planning on riding, but changed my mind last minute.
I made it to the ride and along with Dr. Tim and 6 others we headed toward Byron.
From there we made our way to Mantorville via the golf course road. That sure is a fun stretch.
Then we continued north to Pine Island again along some very nice roads.
We stopped at Kwik Trip in P.I., then we headed back to town on the Douglas Trail.
I finished with 65 miles and some tired legs.
Not bad for a late November ride...
Happy B-Day to Silver!
Saturday was the coffee ride to celebrate Steve's birthday.
The weather didn't cooperate as it drizzled all ride, but we still had about 12 or so riders and a fun time followed.
Unfortunately, when I left Rochester the sun was coming out and so I brought the good bike.
Needless to say, I spent a couple of hours cleaning and re-greasing when I got home.
Good time and good friends...

Sat. 11/3
Dennis and I got out on the Douglas trail about mid-afternoon.
The temp was just under 50 degrees, but we had plenty of warm clothes.
We started haeding north with the idea we'd turn back whenever we felt like it, but before you knew it, we were in sight of Pine Island. So, we made it to the Kwik Trip in Pine Island for a short break and then it was back to the trail for the return trip.
Before we hit Douglas, we passed Big Jim as he headed north on the CX trail. I yelled, but he may not have heard me.
The last 5 miles were starting to get to us, but as we hit Douglas we found our second wind and finished strong. I did a bit of the CX trail, while Dennis kept a nice pace going on the paved trail.
26 miles was pretty impressive for Dennis' first excursion.
We'll work on those base miles through the winter and be ready for next spring.
