Death Ride Monday



Tim "watch me dance up the hill" F., Matt O, Michael "Coppi" L, Jason R., Martha B., Sadie "satan" D., Gary "bulldog" B & I meet after Martha, Gary & Sadie got to watch the B-ville parade...

well, it was 3 hills short of the full death ride.
4:23:58, 66.3 miles, over 17 mph avg speed and 4320 feet of climbing pretty much sums up what looked like to be a terrible day into a "perfect" one.

About half way though the ride: we lost Sadie, Jason, Martha (it was cool that they could ride that much with us) by then....Tim F's tire decides to flat and the SBR "NASCAR Pit Crew" takes over....Tim, stood around and gave directions, Gary & Matt take off the old and put on the new...then "fast hands" Michael takes over pumping up the tube. Man, where did he develop the muscles for that at?
:-D

Tim had to turn around next due to time constraints so it was down to four of us. We did (or got done by) Ira Rd, Oak Hill, then back on Riverview for the S hill climb. Michael "Coppi" L won the KOM with the rest of us trying to keep him honest or at least forcing him to sweat a little bit.

Big Fun...they will be another Death Ride, with ALL of the hills soon.

Caio,
Rick
