Larry P, so thrilled that I have returned that he closed his eyes tightly and reopened to make sure he was not dreaming.  As a testimony to the theory that cycling jerseys are indestructible, not he is wearing a Savage Hill version from the '90s.

Next on my whirlwind visit around the parking lot was Don and Chris.  By the time I finished greeting everyone, there was not a wet eye in the parking lot......get it....wet eye rather than dry eye.  OK, weak I know.  I was wearing civilian clothes and everyone wanted to know why.  I told them it was too cold for me but.....

….I am having such fun in the woods and besides, I am 33.3333% finished with the task of creating enough fire wood for next winter.  I predict it will be another long and cold one.

Yeehaw!  The Queen of Treats is back for another season.  Having 5 industrial ovens in ones kitchen does allow for industrial sized capacity which is needed but especially for Thursdays.

Terry Campbell has a personalized plate that matches his nickname, also found on the fork, Dr. Brutal.

Dang.  Last year if we had 20 come out for a Tuesday ride it was a good group but last week there were 30 and tonight 44.  The club's goal of maintaining a B pace ride is impossible with so many European racer type looking guys coming out so Don announced there would be both an A and B group, which is a good idea.  Above, Peggy tells the group that the Honor Ride needs a few more volunteers and states that information about volunteering can be found on the Cycling Club's site: ​https://www.thecyclingclub.org/

Seems like everyone prefers gathering at this church parking lot due to the much easier road access compared to behind the Heit Center.  It was brutal getting out of that parking lot.

Kasey K on the right listens as do the others to additional announcements and then the groups are......

…..released to the open road!  For the 36 mile route, the A group averaged 21mph while the B group slotted in with a 19.5mph.  Hmmmm, is that Jon Morgan giving me the finger at the back of the group?  I can image plenty of people who would but Jon????  See you Thursday for the mother of all group rides, same place, same time.  Don't miss it.

Mark, I understand that your camera lens maybe dusty from your Arizona hiking days. As you'll see upon closer examination, my gesture to you was a very welcoming 2 finger "Peace" sign. Good to have you back!
