We waited until around 1:00 to ride, so while the temps were cooler than "normal", it was still a BEAUTIFUL afternoon to be on the mountain bike.
We did a nice warm-up lap together so Captain and I could give everyone the update on the layout for the race. It's easy to follow if you know where to look for the new stuff, otherwise it's a bit confusing in the beginning. Overall, everyone seemed to greatly enjoy the course. The changes they've made kept it fun and exciting.
Afterwards a good portion of us hung out for a cookout. Everyone brought a little something, and as usual, we had a TON of "nummy" food.
As the sun started to set, we contemplated gathering around the grill to stay warm. . . . . .it was getting COLD. Team Pedal Moraine member Gary is "hard core". He clung to the hopes of warmer weather by wearing the shorts.
I had a ride time of about 2:24, with the final 25 minutes being at "race pace", the rest was mostly endurance. All in all, it was a great day, a great course, and great fun on the bike and with friends. Can't wait for the race there, although that's always a sad day. . . . . .because it means the "official end" of the WORS season is here.
