How could you have missed the SlowPoke series? This series is steeped in tradition of several weeks' standing. Bigbossman and I must have put on, what, three or four of them in 2009. You obviously blinked at just the wrong time.

Depending on how motivated we are, one or the other of us might try again in 2011. Of course, there's nothing preventing anyone else from putting together a 12mph average speed (slower if there are any climbs longer than 200 yards), 20-25 mile ride featuring food and socializing.

Just sayin' . . . .
