This morning I finally got to go for a little ride with my lbs http://aboutbicyclesop.tripod.com/index.html, they dropped me, but I rode fixed with about 8 gear inches less than their racing machines. I haven't riden in a group, not even of 4 in maybe 8 or 9 years, and the owner is the a national masters tandem champion. http://www.velobrew.com/JaxHome.asp Thats him on the right.

Time and distance was not important, but networking was. Oh, and making it back home before having to go back to work.
