Ride Description:

I was about to roll out this morning on a solo ride, but as I heading out of the brewery parking area I saw Steve and was invited to ride with him and Jim on the BBC metric route. First time meeting Jim and very glad I was invited to ride with them. Steve had us veering from the BBC markings early as we ended up on the old BBC route going out and eventually worked our way back to the new route. The pace was rather casual, but at times we had a brisk pace.

We stopped at the Sunoco for what we thought would be just a quick snack, but it started raining. We waited a while and batted around some ideas for what to do next. We decided to head back and pick up the 48 route and a few miles later the rain stopped so we thought we would tack on some additional miles and Steve led us out for some additional miles.

We ended up with longer stop times that I usually do, but with the weather I was just happy to get out and get some miles on the legs. Plus we were out on some roads that I have not been on in maybe a few years. This turned out to be a really good cycling day and getting to ride with Steve and Jim made it even better.
