Ahhh, the topic today..... a little old school Raul Alcala. ( take a look... Kelly with the toeclips - did that guy ever get clipless? - I love it!!!!)
As you can guess, we had our own Alcala of the Loons today on the ride ... that's Mr. Jorge to you. lol. Four of us embarked on a absolutely gorgeous ride this fine 4th of July. I am so used to riding in the power heat that riding in the cool morning was a real blessing. I was also pleased that the pace was not at 22 mph. I had a restless night and some of us didnt have a night at all to sleep. We put on 35 miles out past Fletcher, added on the TT route and back on 144 through Rogers and Dayton. The ride was well enjoyed. Think about it, dragging yourself out of bed and waking up to the cool breeze and flawless coutryside. What worries did we have? Our Nation's birthday and we spent it over the road. The 4th foursome included Dave (Thor) Henningsgaard, Eric J ( a.k.a. No-Doz ), Jorge and me.Also, with Eric loaded up on No-Doz, we took a side jaunt to the sports center and Eric showed us some great moves on his Trick Orbea.... amazing what recreational drug use will do to a man. Take a look at Eric's great aerial move.
Kudo's to you Thor for the Super Prime. I was surprised that a man that tall was that unnoticed over my shoulder. lol. I should also mention Eric and his persistence in draggin his butt out of bed, eventhough he worked until 2:30 am, just to go biking. Eric, you said you weren't going to break any records? Well, the fact that you showed that early and then attacked up super prime says enough! Thank you all who rode today, it was a real treat to meet you all. Hey Jorge - I will try the Acapulco out....thanks for the tip.
