Days of "R__N", Shades of "POO"

Days of precip. sometimes can be unavoidable, and some cannot. Its seems as though we could have another this eve. As we experienced this past Tuesday, it can still be a good time and a great workout. We had six hardcore members join in for the first ever "2wf" precipitation ride. All left and all returned safely so pat yourselves once again for a ride well completed. Although we dont like to talk about it or mention it, it may do it again this eve. Hopefully all those who intend on showing for the ride, do, unconditionally. If it should happen to do it, we will try to go a route that will yield far less "POO" than the last. Our fearless "CEO" had a personalized handprint that he left somewhere out in New Wilmington. I personally think that he was doing a taste test, or just wanted to get a quick facial while out there basking in the mist. But all had a delicate dousing of "POO", which seemed as soothing as a moderate MUD BATH.

I wanted to let all know that there is a shop in Cortland, OH., that has rides that will commence at 600pm on Monday and Wednesday if anyone is looking for additional riding time or groups. They will be hosting two rides on both of these days and the reason is to have two different riding levels. There is an A group and a B group, i dont really remember what order they go in, but the jist of it is that one group will travel at 13-17 miles per hour and the other 18-22 miles per hour. Now riding in Ohio is a little different due to the lack of aggressive terrrain. So miles per hour may be significant to you and may not be. I have gone in the past and it was a good time, so if you are interested let me know and I will let you know how to get there. In mentioning that I am hoping to coordinate in the very near future a day on a weekend where that shops riders and the riders that have been meeting for "2wf", can all get together and have an all out "Tour de Somewhere". This should allow us to maybe grow in numbers both on our side of the border and thiers.

The MS ride is getting closer, so lets see more and more of everyone over the next couple of weeks to get them legs all geared up and ready for that long distance. Keep in mind when training on the cycles that when you ride for more than one hour, you should be drinking at least one bottle per hour and you should have eaten something every hour. Even though it is great to lose weight while on the bike, if you do not replenish those stores that you are using you run the risk of "BONKING", and trust me on this, it is not a fun situation! When one bonks, the possibilities of strang things are endless. I have seen people look and talk like someone I have never experienced before, and your ability to function becomes severly impared. So drink up and eat on.

Hope to see you all tonight for the "ride"..........take care and "Happy Trails"
