Another recovery ride scheduled to start at 9am. I got to the meeting place in Los Altos at 8am because I knew that I had to at least clean and lube my chain from yesterday's wet ride. I got it all clean, checked and pumped air in my tires, got all my gear on and was ready to go! Wait a minute, no one is here! Don't tell me everyone flaked today. I know a lot of people don't want to ride in the rain! Well, today was a day of riding with no rain! A little cold, but at least we stayed dry....all 3 of us!
Coach Don showed up at around 8:45am. Then, another participant, Bobby, showed up about 10 minutes later. They got their gear on, set up their bikes and we were off by around 9:15. If you know me, I hate starting out late! If you're not early, you're late is my motto! Oh well, it was just a recovery ride anyway. The nice thing about only being 3 of us on the ride is that we were able to get going at a pretty good pace and not have to wait for too many people to catch up.
In fact, we finished the ride before 11am. Most times we don't finish before 11:30 and that's even when we start on time at 9am. Time to eat and time to go wash the bike! Can't wait until next weekend! It will be our last long ride before the actual event! 80 miles next week and it's titled Tour de Peninsula!
