I was in the Tampa area for a family vacation last week. While I was there, I rented a bicycle from Carrollwood Bicycle Emporium, and hooked up with the Tampa Bay Freewheelers for a 50-mile ride through some very pretty countryside. Thanks to the folks at CBE for setting me up with a nice Trek road bike (a couple visiting from AZ also on the Saturday ride had gotten bikes from CBE as well). I got a quickie FitKit for saddle height, they popped on my pedals, made sure derailleurs, brakes, and tires were all up to snuff, a little paperwork (and a CBE jersey for me) later, and I as off.
I met some great folks on the TBF ride -- Terry, William, Glenn, Armando, and others -- and learned that it's possible to eat breakfast in the middle of a long ride and not regret it. :) Still trying to figure out how a group based in largely flat Florida worked the term "freewheelers" into its name. :)
