A nice group of 6 showed up at DD for the 6am ride all with red flashing lights except Chris H with the white light. Steve S, Steve B, Jeff, Chris H, Chris B and I rolled out right on time. Picked Lee E up at lake Wilson rd. The 7 of us are together as we turn on packhouse and I up the pace just a little. Packhouse is very nice with fresh pavement, but I’m not sure where the bike lane is going to be? Looks like a normal shoulder to me. Maybe they are still working? We turn right on blommery and the group seems to be holding together with everyone doing nice short pulls. About a half mile from the stop sign at hornes ch I hear that we have a few riders off the back. I keep the pace because I knew we would be taking a left on Simms and could slow down and wait. Chris H, Steve B and I turn right and slow the pace. See the group coming up blommery, but they don’t take the left on Simms. So we turn around to chase them down thinking maybe they did not see us. Got to old Smithfield and did not see them in either direction. We take a left on old Smithfield so we can get back to the planned lunch box route. Left on Bullhead (very bad road by the way) and right on Simms. Both Chris and Steve have been working hard…really strong today and pull the sister like they were not even there. Coming in on airport we pass Lee heading the opposite direction so I guess they did a different route. We finished with a 21+ avg and back before 7:15 as advertized. I think it was 7:08 and we had around 26 miles since we did the little detour trying to find the others. Sorry the group slit…I’ll take the blame. But I was just trying to get everyone back in time for work. :-)
