Ride Description: Macatawa Cycling Club Monday Night being held on Monday Morning because today is Memorial Day. Today due to no time constraints the “B” group actually went out and around Hutchins Lake instead of turning down 126th Ave.
Riding partners: Mike Mortoff and about 12 other of my closest friends that I don’t know.
Thought(s) of the day: Felt pretty good the heat was definitely a factor. Can’t imagine what a 2:00pm ride today would be like. Had the song “Cry out to Jesus” by Third Day stuck in my head all morning. Subtle hint perhaps? I really would like to get Sara into Road riding. I think she would really enjoy it and it would be an activity we could do together versus our current separate physical activities.
Riding sure does help to clear your head. Giving Sara the space she needs is easier when I’m riding on a semi-frequent basis.

Ride Description: Macatawa Cycling Club Monday Night ride.
Riding partners: Jim Mahaney, Mike Mortoff and about 24 other of my closest friends that I don’t know.
Thought(s) of the day: Tonight was fun. The ride was great. I actually felt pretty good. The pace and average for the ride was actually a bit higher than the cyclometer indicates due to a very easy ride out to the Holland Aquatic center where the ride leaves from and a very nice and easy warm up. Once the ride actually kicked in the pace was 18-20. About what I need right now for a group ride.
