We decided last second to gather our gear and head over to CR. We ended up meeting up with Carson who heard the bat call. Woody was around, and we ran into M3Tim in the lot and a big group of people. I wasn’t looking for blood (Woody was) but it was fun to just chill with a different group of people and cruise around. This was the first time on the single speed at CR since I got rid of the Cannondale, so It was going to be different for sure. Chatted with Carson most of the time and made funny noises. He looks really good on the bike. At least once he asked if I wanted to go around him, but had no need to.
By the end of the ride I really got back into the flow of it. Cleaned many of the things I had trouble with the last time on the single speed. My brain still remembers how to work this thing after all. I really like the way it fits me and how flickable it is. I’m trying to ride this exclusively for a while to get that feel back, especially before SSaP.
It was a really good social ride and felt good to hammer some of these climbs. Slammed some pizza at the local spot and shredded home.
The plan today is to head out to Halters for the other PFW A ride. I figured the first one would be the one to jump on. IMO, it would be the most gentlemen version of the ride to get in on. It is a brand new ride, so I don’t know what to expect. No one will have any words of wisdom. I contacted Rick (who leads the ride) and he gave me a outline of what he thinks it will be, but who really knows.
