Ride Description:                                                            
I loved the ride today with this group. We had perfect weather and a really good mix of cycling friends for this 4th of July celebration group ride. It was a nice change for me to ride somewhere other than the brewery and it has been well over a year since I have been on the Rose Pedal Metric route. I typically do not like a lumpy route with sharper rollers, but for some reason I like this route. Being away from it for so long just made it all the more enjoyable.

I kind of thought this would be a fairly casual pace, but as the ride progressed so did the pace for a few of us. In the last couple of miles it was down to me, Susan and Cort with Susan taking it up a notch or two more. At the end Susan said, "that was fun!" I agree completely. It was fun! I wished we just had a few more miles to ride together today. Kind of a shame to put away the bikes for the day, but we need to rest up for I have hope to do some sort of ride tomorrow.

Happy 4th to everyone.

A tremendous thanks and gratitude to those who made the ultimate sacrifice in battle and in service to keep this nation free so those of us at home, the generations before and the generations after us can enjoy a day like this and many more. Thanks! and God Bless!
