DC, Tim Lucas and I met at DD this evening for a short, relaxed pace ride. The posted pace was 18-19 mph. We executed the plan well as we headed into the wind up Nash, Cliftonville and Vaughans Chapel. DC picked up the pace slightly on Sandy Cross as the wind turned to a crosswind. The slightly elevated pace continued along West Mount and through the turn onto Old Carriage. As the group crossed Bend of the River, Tim pushed the pace well above 20 into the 25-27 range thanks to the tailwind and overall downhill nature of the road. DC took over on London Church and proceeded to continue Tim's pace all the way to Lake Wilson. My short pull lasted to the top of the first hill on Lake Wilson and then the boys took off. I fell off the back while pushing 26 mph as they did the second Lake Wilson climb. The ride down Nash back to DD was equally sporty. We may not have met the posted goal of 18-19 mph, but the WHEEEE factor was too much fun to ignore. Overall, about 28 miles at a 20.5 mph average. Here's the Garmin report including my warm up ride up Tilghman, Lake Wilson and Nash. A super ride on a great day.

My planned starting time is 5:15 from DD, but I can move it later if there is interest. Please post if you plan to ride. If there is no response, I will leave from my house and go solo. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CyclistsOfWilson-COWs" group.
