OFFICIAL FULL-TEAM TRAINING RIDE #1

It was sunny and warm, well sort of, and we met at my house and took the Cedar River Trail on our first team ride. I falsely promised Jocelyn, as she reminded me that I DO Have a tendency to lie, that it was only a mile on gravel- actually close to 4 and so our ride began with her screaming and shouting every half a mile or so, "I am going to die!" You see, Joc has more of a road bike at least tire wise and the dark tunnels with gravel was a bit much for her :) Sorry Joc.

Then the remainder of the ride was on the smooth trail. The highlight might have been Maple Valley Meth man that we all rode SUPER FAST BY.... and possibly the last two miles where Leo and I traded bikes- and yes his mountain bike with mountain bike tires kinda sucks when trying to keep up with us speed demons on road tires. OH and definitely, Leo's pocket Boom box that he rocked out to!

Joc took some great videos that I am hoping she will upload.

OH and look to the right and check out our TEAM Inspiration- TOM!!!!

STATS:
Miles:  21
AVG Speed: 12 mph
# of falls:  ZERO
# of chain slips: Dammit One and it was me again! Shoot.
# of girlie screams: tons, and priceless
NOTE: If we can just repeat this ride 20 times we should be fine for the STP... Scary thought!

Post- Ride food.. Once again we probably consumed more calories via fried bar food and beer than we burned- thanks to the Swinging Arm Tavern but it was DELICIOUS
