Ride Description:

I was out for my typical Sunday cruise and enjoying the sunny day when Michael, a stranger, caught up with me on the way back. From that point I enjoyed pacing with Michael back to the parking area at the zero mile marker. What a great guy and a solid cyclist. It was a pleasure trying to hang on his wheel and best wishes as you begin to train for your Ironman competition this year. 

I also met an elderly guy at the 20 mile turning point and chatted with him for a few minutes. He told me about just returning from a 3 day venture from Alabama to Georgia in preparation for a 470 mile (I think that what he said) venture cycling the Natchez Trace. Best wishes to them on the preparation and safe travels.
