Sunflower Ride or Corn Ride?

This year the ride should be renamed because the landowner did not plant sunflowers this year. (see last year's blog entry) Instead corn was planted but despite coming up with a trendy blog name for the ride what matters the most is the ride and those attending the ride that marks the day.

Despite a lot of our regulars being out of town for events like the Cherohala Challenge and other events we did have a good number of cyclists show up for our ride today. The route was a bit over 57 miles and the weather quite toasty with little to no wind, which was good. I think our pace was a little more calm today as well, but based on my recent rebuilding of conditioning I was pleased to do a little slower pace. We did have our impromptu bouts of sprinting and racing when the roads and group spirit was incited to go fast.

Despite the heat of today I did enjoy this training ride. Not quite sure what to do for next weekend, but I am considering the Cartersville Century.
