The TeamFIRE ride went off with about 17 riders -- a surprisingly large group considering the wind. It was decided a northerly route made sense into the wind, so we headed out to the Kawasaki plant. I lost the group rounding the airport as Nate (I think his name was) dropped his chain on his single-speed moutain bike. I stayed back to check on him -- the chain was irrepairable so he had to call for a ride or hike it. After assuring me he was fine, I rode solo into the wind for probably a mile before seeing the group coming back. The rain clouds were getting more ominous so they decided to turn around and head for home, fortunate for me as it allowed me to catch back up!
A few hearty souls (Jen, Gravy, Megan and myself) stopped for a nightcap at the Grape Vine neighborhood pub at 27th & Stockwell. The brew was cold and tasty.
Good and windy time had by all!
Sidenote -- Alternative July 4th Ride
Jen, myself, BobK and whoever else wants to join us for the alternative July 4 ride. We're meeting at 8 a.m. at Wilderness Perk for a 30-mile or so ride. This would be the group that cherishes sleep and rides a little slower. :)

Kevin, we will all still be asleep on the early morning Seward ride. So I'm sure you could keep up!
I was trying to sway your roomate last night to ride with the slow pokes. I know he likes to sleep in!
Gravy will end up riding with us. He likes to sleep in - and I owe him $5 from last Saturday's ride.
Gravy HATES sleeping in. I think you have been misinformed. And $5 is certainly not enough to persuade him otherwise.
Oh, a bidding war. I like this concept.
So, who's willing to pay more for my... a-hem, company?
I've got a Miller Light in the beer fridge with your name on it. Actually, I have several...
sure, start with the heavy guns kevin. you know I can't compete with that.
