Riding Partners: Great turnout for the Club ride tonight. I rode in the B1 group most of the way but dropped back in between the B1 and B2 groups. Rode with Mark Harter and Mr. Spooner on the way home on 60th. I promise Mark, I’l repay the pull a few week down the road.
Thought of the day: Finally a ride this season where I am starting to feel some good sensation in the legs. Still have some weight to lose but if I am able to work myself up to riding 4 days a week, the weight should naturally come off.
