Sunday Ride

So I got up w/ Anthony, Garret, and Antimo today for a ride out to Occee. Even though it looked like it was going to rain we decide to go for it anyone. The route that we took was a 25.9 mi ride, at a pretty decent pace. About 15 min into the ride Antimo had abit of a problem w/ his cog.

He decide he was going to stay w/us for the anyways, but about 5 min later he got cut of from the group and decide to just head home and be safe.
The ride out was pretty much all side and tail wind the whole way. I just kept think about how we'd be getting our play back on the way home. We made a little stop of out in Occee to visit a friend of Anthony's and grab water and bananas.

Anthony took a little bit of time to explain the fixed gear before we were back on our way.

The ride back was the complete opposite of the way out. Head wind and hills, made for a nice challenge. I don't know about the other two, but the thought of the rain coming definitely helped to give me a bit of extra push. As we made back to the house we did a little cool down and as we were all pulling our bikes in it finally started to rain. We went up and out to the porch and enjoyed the sound of the rain as we talked about the ride.

Its really nice ride in a group, something I don't get to do that often. But its a nice change, it makes you push hard when your feeling like taking it easy. And its also nice to have people that are a stronger in other areas of cycling then you to push you in that area. Looking forward to getting out w' those guys again and ride. Until then, Believe In Cult
