Saturday Ride?

First of all, happy Thanksgiving to all!  Is anybody interested in doing a ride on the Jamaica trail early Saturday afternoon?  Gotta work off all that good food.  Weather is supposed to be in the mid 50s and sunny.

Pic Post

I haven't done a picture post for a while, so I thought I'd post a few pics.

Night rides have taken over this time of year - here is the group from last Thursday's ride out to Roca tavern:

On Sunday I rode out to Pioneers park to watch the cyclocross races - always fun to watch, especially when friends are out there suffering :)

Here are a couple of LoupGarou:



Here are some of Tom H.:



I tried to get a pic of Monsignor, but he was too fast and I just got him going by:


The crowd watching seemed to be having their usual good time, from the little girl banging on the bike frame to cheer riders up Hooligan Hill, to the impromptu bbq and the traveling tunes supplied by CVO and cc-rider, everybody enjoyed the weather and the race.

Tweed anyone?

This looks interesting...

I'm bettin' Gravy has a closet full o' tweed.

Thursday Night Ride

Adrian has posted that there will be another Thursday night ride - meeting at 6:00 p.m. at the bench at 27th and highway 2.  The ride will be to Roca Tavern and back.  The last two Thursday night rides have been a blast, and it should be pretty nice - if a little cool - this Thursday as well.

Bob Marley + morning commute = Goodness

Never mind the fact I got buzzed on my neighborhood street by a shiny red Chevy Impala. That dude was an ass.

Bob Marley mellowed me, though.

October in November

It sure feels like we had November in October this year, and now we're getting the payoff by having October in November. For once, I had some time free on a nice day, and was able to take the road bike out for a spin to Bluestem. It was a bit breezy, but nice - I can tell that I've been riding the Jamaica trail more than the road lately, as hills and wind felt like a bit of a challenge.

The other challenge came halfway through the ride when I lost my right contact riding near Sprague. The rest of the ride looked like this:

So, if you're out riding the road that runs from Sprague up to highway 77, and you happen to see a contact lens, that's mine.
