The Boys Are Back

Mostly sunny skies and temperatures hovering around 60 degrees made the perfect day for Barry (The Boss), Darin, Russ and I to go out for our first group ride of the season. I met up with the Boss a bit early and we caught up on recent happenings in each others lives. He just got back from a week of vacationing in Florida. Me? Same ol, same ol.

By the time we met up with Darin and Russ the skies had turned cloudy. As the wind was a stiff 20mph it was a bit brisk as we headed east out of Germantown. Man, was it nice to be riding together after a long and cold winter! Dancing on our pedals in two-by-two fashion we sped through the countryside. Taking turns in the wind kept the pace pretty high.

The weather may have changed from a bright sunny afternoon into a blustery early spring day, but who cares? Wind? Bah! Hills? Nothing to it. The beauty of cycling is that it's basically a carefree activity. Just like when we were kids. Telling jokes, talking about nothing in particular, it was magical.

By the time we were done 56 miles had passed. Not bad for March 30th, eh?

Thanks for the great ride fellas. I'm looking foward to a long season of great rides.
