Mon, May 5 2008 - Monday evening bike ride (View Original Event Details)
|
Thanks for another great bike trip guys! Once again, we started at the Kinsmen Center. The group went east along the north side of the river up and down hills and through various parks and subdivisions. Along the way some of us (including myself) discovered that our bikes could use a bit of maintenance. We crossed back to the south side of the river near Gold Bar Park. The trip back was a bit slower pace because of hills and the temptation to take dirt trails over the paved ones. We learned about trail erosion and hit a few hills that pushed our tires, and tired legs, to the limit. We made it back to the Kinsmen around 8:15pm. It was a good conditioning ride for some of us and at least good exercise for the rest. Thanks for helping keep me from getting lost and for staying in the group. I hope to see you all at future bike events. Hopefully I'll remember my gps next time so we know how far and fast we've gone.
