Mercury was at 30 degrees when I rolled out of the stable. Met up with W and XX at the usual spot, Landing, at the usual time, 6.
Exchanged pleasantries, shared intentions of keeping the pace mellow, and decided against rolling the usual loop.
W and XX were freewheeling single speeders and I was bringing up the rear on the fixed Fisticuff. Conditions were tacky and fast. Renegade and Nacho exit were muddy in the usual spots.
Log>Morning Choice>Grovemont Trailhead>Lewis and Clark>1.5X around Old Track (XX showed me the new double stack on Old Track that I'll definitely hit next time thru)>Morning Choice>Connector>Ridge>Rockburn Branch v^v (on the up I went for extra credit and pedal strike set me head and shoulders first into a tree....ouch! Thank goodness for helmets. Nice shiner on left shoulder)>Belmont Woods (looked down at the Garmin and noted that we were averaging 9.4 mph...so much for a mellow pace)>Nacho from the non-muddy side>Renegade>Landing (Enter Patt and Exit W and XX)>U turn for a second helping of Renegade and Nachoes...YUM!
Great way to start the work week!
