Flying Kites with the Pups

In a very rare situation, the RBGs and company headed out without a plan.  Vince, our route-master extraordinaire gets baffled in the wind so at the end of the industrial park, we had to put some roads together to get the miles in that we wanted.  It turned out to be a pretty good route anyways and helped manage the wind.  Everyone was in good spirits and still recovering a bit from Saturday's century.  It was good to have Engine Eddie back with the crew and we were also joined by Noah.  We have met Noah on the road before but I don't believe that he has ever started and finished with us.  I hope he returns to ride with us again.  As I mentioned, it was tough in the wind, especially if you got caught by yourself out in it.  Vince and Charles rode super-strong finishing all of the tough efforts with me - Kentuck, Church, Kentuck, Grocery, and Malmaison.  Eddie and Love were never far behind and in a couple of occasions, Love was there at the end as well.  Noah did really well for the first half of the ride and then had difficulty hanging on for the second half but he put out a good effort for the first time riding with us.  A strong paceline took us down 41 back into town where we chose to head back to the trail via the old Emma route.  Eddie got the racing started for 'Coming in Hot' to Biscuitville by yelling 'Let's put a stop to this NOW!' and he took off! The trail was a disaster due to all of the flooding and some decided to 'hike a  bike' around the worse parts.  Vince and I had enough of that because we MBGs as well as RBGs so we headed on down the trail.  After a tough effort on the trail, my average did not change much, if any.  Post-ride beverages were provided by Port City Brewing - Maniacal DIPA (as delicious the second time as it was the first), Modus, Stone, and Flying Dog.  Much mirth was had around the post-ride campfire...and we worked on planning our MTB Bachelor Party - to Richmond!
