Well, this Monday’s ride was terrific.  It was the first time this year that we got to ride in shorts and short sleeve jerseys.  It was a great group.  The ride turned out to be 55 miles and we averaged right around 18 mph.  This was one of our last rides before we race the Grasshopper this coming Saturday.  Claire and I will be on our Ibis tandem and Aaron and Melinda will be on their Cannondale RT1000.  They have it set up REALLY cool with 26″ wheels for off-road and 700c wheels for the road.
