I suggested a name change last weekend to Lanterne Verde. Doc From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bob Luppino Sent: Tuesday, June 28, 2011 6:10 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [COWs] Daybreak & Last Weekend
Jeff, Great report, but you left out an important detail. Based on your ability to hang with the aforementioned "Turbo Dan's monster pull", your status as Lanterne Rouge is up for review. Those of us watching the festivities from a safe distance are reluctant to continue your LR status since you have clearly upped your game. Well done Jeff...to be known in the future as "Rider formerly known as LR"? From: Glover, Jeff<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, June 28, 2011 11:10 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [COWs] Daybreak & Last Weekend Lanterne Rouge rolled out of the homestead at 6:00 am as there was no post from anyone else crazy enough to rise early for a ride. Smoke from the fires in Pender County was not an issue. Enjoyed a very humid ride to Pearson's Peak and back to include West Hornes Church. West Hornes has been cleaned off and lines repainted in places but still very rough. Around 15 miles at 18 pace. After today's ride I am limited to my steal frame flat pedal bike until I get a new set of wheels. My rear wheel is far enough out of true that I had to open up the rear break caliper to ride this morning and was noticeably worse at the end of the ride. Hopefully, I can get this taken care of before the weekend. I was hoping someone else would write up Saturday's, ride but at the risk of messing it up, and being late, here goes. The herd rolled out of OSB at 7:00 with 14 riders for the 2nd Annual Blood Sweat and Beers ride. I would try to name everyone who rode but fear I would royally mess that up so I leave that to others. Nick arrived with "cold podium prizes" that apparently were incentive enough to create a quick paced ride. The group rolled to Fremont, a route not frequently enjoyed by the group so someone more experience will need to fill in with the details. Pulls on the front were limited to 3 minutes more or less. There was a slight wind on the way out with some passing clouds to keep things cool. Dale and Wally had to drop after an hour and return to Wilson early to tend to other obligations and the group rolled on with 12. As I recall the distance was 51 miles with a 19 avg. which means at time the pace was "rolling". Of special note was Turbo Dan's monster pull on St. Mary Church on the way back in that saw speeds over 28. Post ride beverages, LR provide a few extra retrieved from the fridge at the abode. A good round of fellowship rounded out the event. I think the Green Jersey went to Dan with the pull on St. Mary's and the Polka Dot Jersey went to Nick with a "take no prisoners" assault on Target Hill. A great ride, a great group and a great day to be on a bike! Jeff -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CyclistsOfWilson-COWs" group.
