Tuesday night Neil Honorarium Ride

Is He Doing It For The Points?
He's Doing It For The Ride!

I hope that we all remember this day - like the one above. The day you set yourself free and found the open road - or driveway. It grew from there, being more bold, more daring - and yes, sometimes more stupid. But all the same - you got hooked. Don't forget that feeling - for the lucky ones ( most of us ) that feeling has never left -- feeling 5 years old and free!

Good ridin' tonight boys and girls. We had a 60 mile ride down to Rockford back up to Albertville and through Rogers back home. Hot and muggy - couldn't ask for better weather. Make sure to pack the GU and Superman Drink stuff - bonking and dehydration happens alot. First off, the Butkus award to Ryan - man, way to hang in the whole way - and with a smile! It was tough today as the heat was intense. A total of 7 riders tonight - good turn out. If I am not mistaken - Melinda taught Jay a lesson on the Rockford prime....Here's the deal, if Melinda leads out - you're gonna have a tough time drafting behind her - her profile is paper thin. I don't even notice a difference in a head wind if I am in front or right behind Melinda - completely not fair....Not fair at all.

Ya know, I was curious why we have to go all over to race. We have it all right here on a Tuesday / Thursday night ride - this is for you Neil - SIGN RACING - it is free and exceptionally competitive! Okay, so you don't get points - big deal - you do get the belt however. Hey, we are all in it for the ride - so get out and ride your little heart out and enjoy the experience! We are all a bunch of friends out for a ride!

Be Good
