Rhino stepped up!


With most of the team out of town Rhino said he wanted to ride. So on sat i wanted a early start so we could make it back for the parade.We started at Panera for a bagel and then it was to the trail.Wow it was chilly about 29 out so i really wanted a fast start so Rhino wouldnt be cold.The Wabash trails needs some maintence glass twigs you name it there is stuff everywhere. I worry about if Terry rides the trail he will have many of flats.!!!
So we ended up with just a nice 10 m ride then it was home to make the parade.
Sunday we were suppose to meet at 10am to ride but Shannon sent a text that she was out and she didnt hear John so i thought maybe a ride to the club and a swim workout was in order.
So thats what we did hour swim workout and a 26 m bike yes i am feeling a little bit. Still riding my 29er i yet to pull rd bike down yet maybe soon????

Winter Ride

Just wanted to post some pics of a ride I did. Funny thing about this ride the day before I cross country skied this same loop. Damn Sun!!!

Here's a backwater slough I rode up and yes I freaked out when my tires popped through the ice a couple of times.

A view looking down the river.


Here's the tree I said the opening was about 6ft tall - you can see its closer to about 12ft.




Crazy to think this was all snow yesterday.
I said in my ski post it was a 4 mile loop - actually it was a 5 mile loop.
Peace.

Are we ready?

Just a few hours away from our first group ride of the season. I may have been a touch overserved at the self-service bar last night at our karaoke party. But I'm climbing on the saddle and hoping for a good ride. Woohoo let's go PH Peddlers!
