Our usual ride leader was gone, so I got to lead 10 riders a 40 miler today. Tradition has it that our Friday rides tend to be easier. Here we are cruising.



I'm starting to ramp up my riding a bit, getting ready for AIDS/LifeCycle in June. I have ridden 4 days in a row, averaging 40 miles each ride. I may ride tomorrow, but shorter.

Plus, today is my birthday (63). I didn't try a birthday ride, though. I have already ridden my age or better 7 times this year, so it's not a biggie for me. Besides, we have a 65-miler planned for next Tuesday, weather permitting.
