Actually I updated my post up to 4 so... at least 8 of us rode.

The ride home was pretty good. I cut across town following the rolling hills of Calmont, then climbed up to the west end of 7th Street before coasting down to dinner at the Magnolia Motor Lounge (the pulled pork is pretty kick-ass). With a few adult beverages, it was hard to get going on the last 10 miles but by the time I got home I had found my stride. By the time I climbed Brookhaven (not the biggest hill around, but significant), I was up out of the seat an pumping away. I will sleep good tonight I suspect.

I did pause at one of my favorite spots for a picture.
