Ride Description:

Out and back and spin with some interesting moments. Pretty much just a cruise going out trying to keep a steady pace. On the return I saw a guy walking his bike so I turned back to see if I could help. Turned out his rear tire was ripped up beyond repair and his autistic son had taken off. He asked if I would go catch up with his son and bring him back. I found Eli a few miles away and then stayed with Eli until we got back to his father. With the father also checking with him were Matt and Todd. 

From about 5 miles out it was an effort trying to keep up with these two. It was all I could do to hang with them. I got to talk to them at the parking lot. Great guys and I appreciate them letting me tag along those last few miles with a very brisk pace.
