Tour de Red Rock PIX and REPORT
I named this ride Tour de Red Rock since it encompasses Red Rock Canyon and Spring Mountain Ranch which is full of terrific scenery. I sent the notice out on Monday for a fabulous ride with alot of climbing and beautiful terrain. I even started the ride later = 9am since I like to sleep in and the temps would be a little warmer. I received email after email of folks RSVP'ing but figured half would change their minds cause that's just human nature. NOPE, they all showed:
Mixed in this group of friends you may notice those UNATTACHED KITS, yep we have no shame, we bought them. And boyyyyyyyyy did we get alot of questions. The non-cyclists thought it was an advertisement for dating........and of course the roadies knew: we were a group without sponsors, teamless and on the prowl. Eventhough neither answer was correct......it made for alot of laughs. Everytime Cyn or lara would do something outrageous or stupid, I would be sure to tell them that's why they are both unattached
LARA, ASIA, CYN, KARA, TERESA, DR.DOG
CURT( IN THE BACK ) ERIC, RANDY, SHELLI, DONNA AND HOLLYWOOD
FAMILIAR FACE - JUSTME = GENE
JUSTME AND INKEDINPINK (KAREN)
DR.DOG POSING B4 THE START

So, . . . Asia, should I swap out this 11/23 cassette for some lower gears?? Nah, . . . just a few 5% grades, maybe one or two 8%, but they're short. No worry's. (And if you believe that, I've got some swamp land in Florida I want to talk to you about.)
Routine pre ride milling about.
Here comes the peloton with Asia and Karen out in the lead.
And there they go, . . . off to a blistering pace.
Great scenery, and a great place to regroup while taking in the view.
Mark (Go Faster) had actually spent all morning talking to prospective clients about his training services before collapsing with Frank.
Then it was time for a little mid ride chit chat.
Group had dwindled a little by the time we were headed home, but a good time was had by all.

Thanks for the pics Asia & cyn. I've done that Red Rock loop several times. There was a fire across the the entrance last time I was there. The road was closed so I didn't get to do the loop. Looking forward to it Thanksgiving weekend.
