This week the ride moves to an 8:00 start. That means I’m setting the alarm for 6:30. I never will be known as a morning person. The phone rang at 6:00 am and I was up late doing the blog the night before! It was not a rider asking if we’re on but my friend who was anxiously awaiting the call to come into the city for a kidney transplant. I had happily accepted the role of driver a few years back, fully knowing the call could come at any time of the night!
It seems I missed an eventful ride. We made up for an almost flat free training season in one day!
Well Lunch at Wildwood State Park is always fun — especially on a nice day! We have actually had snow on the Wildwood ride. You never can tell about Spring on Long Island! Josie called me to tell me the ride was about two hours behind schedule and to see how the transplant was going. Unfortunately that was also delayed.
Carl Hart Bicycles was an unintended stop on the ride today. Riders purchased a few tires, tube and other parts as the ride passed through Middle Island. Later Mario’s axel broke. He called home fora ride. They drove to to Carl Hart and Mario rejoined the ride with a new rear wheel. Those bike riders are crazy!
About 6:30 I got back from the City and decided to go out to find my wife. More time was spent fixing bikes then riding today!
Everyone will do the 100 — Two weeks to go!
