Chili Dawg Ride
Saturday was the Cartecay Bike Shop Chili Dawg Ride number #4. Since we missed last week’s ride because of one too many with Neal, we were good and stayed in on Friday. It was a great ride with some old friends and some new ones. Pics coutresty of Polly and Mike:
Lots of ladies for the long ride option:
It was big group despite the wet weather:
A rare shot of Namrita and I riding together:
There was plenty of climbing:
The view I saw toward the end….everyone riding away:
The ride’s name sake….Chili and the Dawg:
Yeah, I got dropped big time. If it was not for my descending skills I could have been DFL. Kept wanting to yelling in my best George Costanza voice “….but I was in the gym!”
My legs felt like lead after 4 hours and on a 5 hour..well you can do the math. It was humbling, but I knew this would come with the time off and the lifting. What I didn’t catch until I got home was that my rear brake was dragging big time. I spun it and it gave up about a 1/4 turn before it stopped….opps. Maybe I don’t suck after all. I can wait for those new Hayes brakes to come in….
