(Map doesn’t include riding to the South Side, and riding up, up, up Penn Avenue afterwards)
First ride in a long time with other folks: Chris, Scott, and Robbie (on his swanky new handbuilt frame). The pace was nice, the conversations good, and the roads generally excellent. It was, however, very hot. 160 ounces of water consumed. The little chocolate nuts chunks were a Bad Idea–completely melted within about 20 miles. Duly noted. Total mileage was a hair under 80.
Finishing by climbing Penn was a kick in the teeth. I probably could have done without that, but whatever doesn’t kill you…
