Birthday ride report - Cause I promised

Ok, because I promised the Cali contingent that came out last week…

Had the birthday ride for Kevin of Tribe Multi this morning. Broke the previous record of 73 riders by over 50%, as we had 117 riders that officially left on time, plus a few stragglers that showed up late and went out on their own.

Up McDowell road to the Beeline highway, then out forever and back. I turned around early, as I was still having problems with cramping (Had that in the pool last night too), and two flats. Between the cramps and the embarrassment of having to be rescued, I made about 25 miles. The longest riders ended going 100+

Avg 18mpg out, 23 coming back, so I felt pretty good about the pace, though.

Kevin is a cool dude. After the ride a bunch of us gathered at Tribe, and he gave me my measurements and figured out what size frame I should be looking for.

A great bunch of people to ride with, and I must not have been too bad, they invited me back out for next Saturday’s ride.

Lot of fun!

well maybe thats why you’re cramping, if you’re getting 18 miles per galon you’re drinking way too much!
ROFL…ok, that’s too good a typo to go back and edit… :wink:

You’re right, next time I’ll leave the mini keg at home…
