Salt Box Village 31 mile route - Leading from behind



My pre-ride posts -

I plan on doing the 31 mile route 2 my pace will be 14 - 16 mph - Anyone is welcome to join me, if we get a group we will not have a sweep rider but will wait at major turns to regroup, if we get a large group we may break in to a fast and faster group assuming we have someone to lead the second group - leading to me just means you are responsible to make sure everyone in your group stays together(waiting at turns) and gets back safely.
We can ride the route forward or backward - up to the group. At present I plan to ride it forward but will do either.
Lets meet at 8:30 AM and plan to start the ride at 9:00 AM.

Nice ride, nice day and nice people. We had 8 total riders. The weather was fine - we got a tiny bit of rain at the start and during the early ride but did not really get wet - most of the ride was just wonderful weather wise with it getting a bit warm toward the but it was not bad. We varied the route a bit to to use some roads that some of the riders felt were better than the planned route. And we got lost a bit because Yates Store road does not meet Green Level road like the route say - one now has to turn onto Weldon Blvd or something like that to get to Yates Store road. It was a lot of fun anyway. Due to the route changes and getting lost we I did 36.4 miles and averaged 13 mph.

Friendly Kenly Revised route



My post ride comments -

Real real nice ride today Cyclepath folks - thank you - another nice ride. Great people, great weather, good roads, pretty area and I was feeling good today on the trike. The trike seemed to be preforming better today - I have been having some stability problems above 27.7 mph and today I had it over 28 mph a number of times and it felt solid. I have been working on it, I have made number of adjustments maybe I got it, I am waiting until I can take it over 35+ mph and not have trouble before I will be satisfied. I only got up to 29.6mph today.

I feel a nap attack coming on - later.

Looking forward to doing it again on the 6th.

Slow Spokes Thursday night ride



My post ride comments -

We had another great ride tonight - weather turned out to be fine but I understand any who skipped due to it. Pugslyyy(John) lead the faster group and Wayne I think lead the quick group. I guess we had about 18 do the ride including two first time with this group riders. Welcome again by the way. Several regulars missing hope to see y'all this weekend or next week.
I am riding with Cyclepaths Saturday and leading 32-34 mile ride at 13 to 16 mph pace, no drop ride(meaning we will wait at major turn for the group to get back together) this Sunday from Salt Box Village departing at 9:00 AM if anyone wants to join us.

Slow Spokes Ride from Harris Visitors Center




My post ride comments -

Had a great ride, got to the start late - started the 8:40 - because I was not with the group I put the hammer down - to my surprise I caught the group at a rest stop at about mile 25 - at that point I was averaging 16.6 - I slowed to ride with the group but still averaged 15.5. It was a good day, got rained on twice but not too bad. There were some new roads for me today - nice.
