2010 Tour de Forts

Just me and Eddie. Had a really good ride! The weather was on the brink of unleashing the fury the entire time! So because of that it was overcast and beautiful. We rode with the Bikes Etc. folks, Mike, Jen, Liz, & Jim. Had a blast! Did the 61 mile route because the weather was threatening at the end. We only got sprinkled on a few times.

Afternoon ride with Eddie, Brian & 1/5 Dana

Ride started out with Me, Dana, & Eddie. About 1.5 miles into it, it became just me and Eddie! Dana was still really sore and didn't have her bike shorts so she decided to bail this time. But she still did really good. Me and Eddie rode to the back of Jim’s neighborhood and met Brian. From there we did a 16 mile loop down Long Leaf Pine and Veterans Pkwy. It was a really nice route! And man all i can say is that Eddie has improved dramatically!! And Brian is getting really strong! In total me and Eddie did 28 miles.

Monday Night Bikes Etc.

The ride tonight was Me, Dana, & Eddie. We had a nice ride. For me it was a much needed recovery ride. We did the whole 20 Mile route this time and did it at 13.5 MPH AVG. Which is a great improvement from last week!! Next week will be even better! Dana is doing so good! Eddie is doing awesome also, he has gotten really strong!

TDC Training Ride Part 2

This was a great ride. Eddie came out and did the 24 Miles option also, he would have done the longer route but he had an appt at the gym. Total ride length was 48.29 miles.

This was a very interesting ride. I saw a rider go down hard, I think her name was Rhonda. She also took my CCW class. She was riding along at the front of the pack pulling and she ran over a pad lock (like a master lock) When her front tire was on front of it she started sliding on it and went down fast to the left. She hit really hard i thought for sure she was hurt bad, but she hopped right up and was perfectly fine! That's it right… WRONG! Right after she went down I ran over something that i assumed was debris from her bike it ended up being the pad lock. It was bouncing around in the road after she hit it and it slammed right into my big chain ring and bent the crap out of it! I was fine for about 20 miles after the impact but, once we wound it up to about 21 MPH the chain started popping off of the ring. It ended up bending it so bad that i had to replace the chain and the big chain ring. Friggin sucks!
