Today’s events: Decided to do a social ride with the Florida Free Wheelers today. Got up early so I could get a few miles in before I met them at 8:00 AM. There was a little chill in the air so I rode to Einstine Bagels to get some breakfast instead. At about 7 AM I headed for the trail head and about 20 riders showed up for the ride. The ride leader discussed the rules and we headed out. One group stopped at Panera and about 8 of us went on, since I had already had my bagel I stayed with group to the end of the trail. The ride with them was about 30 miles at a leisure pace so when we got back I headed out to do another 24 miles then headed for home. On my way home I stopped at the local bike store on the trail and test rode a Raleigh 29er. Man that thing is a beast.
