Today’s ride:

Excellent ride today, great weather, no rain, clear skis and low humidity good group of riders and the temps were only in the high 80s when I got back. Rode with Dick Davidson and Dan Justice and Dick’s son Chris and the Florida Freewheelers from Sylvan Lake Park north around Lake Monroe then back through Sanford and back to Sylvan Lake Park (40 miles). This was the monthly Freewheeler picnic ride. This was a very fast C group averaging above 17 mph. From Sanford I slowed down and stayed with two riders that had gotten dropped at about the 30 mile mark, and even doing this I still averaged 15.5 mph. They had maps but one rider (named Mo) was pretty close to bonking so I did all of the pulling for the last 10 or so miles. When we got back to the park the picnic chairman had grilled hot dogs, hamburgers and grilled salmon, potato salad and all kinds of fresh fruit prepared for everyone. This was the best group ride that I have attended.
