Great day to ride in Memphis today. Low 80's lots of sun and lots of wind. One of our local clubs holds a 30 mile social ride on Sunday afternoons. Typically we ride slowly and just BS for the first half then hammer the way back. Today was no exception. On to the snapshots....

Heading into Memphis from the East through the Midtown area.


Our first stop at the famous Stax Recording studio where artists such as Isaac Hayes, Otis Redding,Wilson Pickett, Booker T. & the MG's, Rufus and Carla Thomas and many others recorded there biggest hits...

My wife surprised me with it last year. Fits nicely in the jersey pocket. I used to carry it a lot more but now only on the slow rides. You need to join us for one of our rides. Your only an hour away

I'd consider it, but you mentioned "hammer" (for the second half of social rides)... I never hammer. well... only during dog-assisted interval training. Do you have a website where you organize your rides?

I love the Camelback for a social ride. Also - if you can take a photo while riding, you just might be on a FRED ride. Awesome man. Keep up the good work.
