Today was the SBL ride and picnic and I was happy to see and meet Hector (PrimalQ) and his lovely wife and three little girls (two are twins).
It was a beautiful day and the temperature was just right. The ride distances were 12, 21, 31, and 47 miles. There were plenty of challenging hills :crash: and a few flat sections through the legendary "silk sheets" section of south Fulton County (south side of Atlanta).
Hector and Jeff (another rider I met today) and I took off together on the 31 mile ride. We did ok (that is I did ok) until we had gone about 20 or so miles. That's when Hector and Jeff dropped me. :o That's OK Hector, I didn't want to hold you back. So I decided to ride with some others who came up from behind. I'm not proud. :D I'll ride with anyone.
Anyway I saw Hector at the end and he said he finished about 5 minutes ahead of me. Don't know how. There were no tail winds. Actually no wind at all. I think he was being nice. ;)
No news here, I get dropped by younger riders all the time. :rolleyes:
For those of you in the Atlanta area, you missed an outstanding day for riding and meeting new friends and some fabulous food at the end. :beer:
