Thanksgiving Ride!

Today, I went riding with co-workers and new friends.  Started at Heartwell Park in Long Beach at 8am, followed the San Gabriel River bed trail, rode past Golden West College, reached PCH, and followed it back to the river bed.  Total of about 36 miles and finished at 11:20.  The day was crisp in the morning and quickly warmed up by 9:30.

Enrique looking good after the nice hill on Gothard street.

Cheryl kept up a good pace on the hills with her clip-in pedals.  Her strategy of facing the skies and cursing the heavens seems to work well for her. Keep it up Cheryl!

Dawnelle, looking pretty in pink, makes it look too easy.

Edwin knows his stuff.  He kept alerting us to the best bikes and accessories on the rode.

Alfonzo helped me keep pace on PCH by alternating to the front on some good headwind. Thanks.

The crew resting after pushing through the wind up PCH.  Their cat-like reflexes kept their bikes from swerving into the marshlands when a pack of cyclists startled them by shouting, "On the left!"

Overall, it was a fantastic ride and got me in the mood for my mom's fantastic feast. Until next time.  Happy Thanksgiving!
