Team Ride

I arose early this morning, greeted by a thick fog settled comfortably over the earth. I broke my fast with a lovely meal of eggs and turkey bacon, and then I donned the garb of the cyclist and headed out the door.
Once I arrived at the Sunset Athletic Club I mounted my trusty aluminum steed and rode circles in the parking lot. A spandex clad crowd soon began to gather and at the time of half past nine we rode off into the fog.
The pace started off easy, but was then slowed to a crawl, apparently 15 miles an hour is just too fast. We coasted through the fog with our blinky lights flashing, for visibility is key.
When we finally arrived at the store the fog had lifted and the sun shone brightly down on us. We figured we were safe from the weather and all the blinky lights were turned off. We then set out for our journey home.
We began climb and fog started settling on the earth's surface once again. It only got worse and worse. At some points I could only see about five feet in front of me. This as you can imagine, causes problems in a large group of riders. In fact there were several mishaps today, but surprisingly, none related to the fog.
We all finished the ride with a sigh of relief.

Oh, My! Was it Windy Today!

Today I headed out for a ride with the team. It was rather windy, as well as very wet. I've decided one of my new pet peeves are people who ride in large groups with only half fenders. You know? The kind that are angled just right so that they keep the culprit dry while spraying you in the face with road grit? Yeah... That's just rude... Good thing the fender in question belongs to a person I like. Yeah, you know who you are, and yes, my fender is better.

I noticed today that on team rides there is a large variety nutrients consumed. Potatoes, fig bars, cliff bars, apples, dates. Even a little nibble of chocolate here and there.
Any other peculiar favorites?
