Thought(s) of the day: Nice ride but my legs were dead tired.  Not sure if it is just B’cuz of the time of the year, the temperture, the density of air, the extra clothing…. I just did not feel like myself.

Ride Description: Velo City Tuesday Night Ride.  Headed East out of town and a bit south of Overisel and then back north through Overisel and back into downtown Holland.

Riding Partners: Only 6 of us this evening.  Mike Clark, Elizabeth Bocks (good luck on your marathon on Sunday!), Dan Nolan, Rick Kraai, and James who I hadn’t met until this evening.

Thought(s) of the day: This was an easy paced ride.  The temp was cool but for once I was dressed appropriately with just the right amount of clothing on.  Went over 1900 miles for the year this evening.  My personal best for a seasons mileage.

Ride Description: MCC – Rapid Wheelmen – Jade Cycles – Multi-club ride. Ended up basically riding the Monday Night Route (B-group) in reverse.

Riding Partners: Rode with a group about 15 miles out and got dropped snaking South out of New Richmond.  I then decided to turn West on 126th Avenue and never saw another rider until I got back to the Bike Shop.  So in essence it was more of a Solo Training Ride.

Thought(s) of the day: Starting to feel that late season funk.  Didn’t really ever feel comfortable on the bike but still had a good time.  Goodies back at the shop were great though.

Psst – I turned comments on :lol:

Thought(s) of the day: Very nice ride today except that it was only 40 degrees at 9:00am when we left. Oh and that small incident where I didn’t hear the direction being called out and I nearly ran Mike off the road. Sorry Mike… I am going deaf.
