I started out as a solo ride and 4 miles my power meter stop working and just about the same time I crossed a rider going the opposite direction... He yelled out to me, "Can't wait for it to be April!". I thought I recognized the voice so I made an about face and went to catch up with the rider. I figured I could do a different route, if he was going too far down Rte 70 or a different direction. Well I didn't know the rider but made a quick friend, he told me which direction he was going and it fit my ride. So I decided to ride with him. We had a very nice chat on the ride. I did have a a certain time I had to be back and drive down to my brother's house. I did not calculate the ride pace and the added distance into my adjusted ride. When I dropped him off I realize I was late and had to kick ass the last 10 miles to make up up some time. I still was way behind. It was a very pleasureful and successful adventure ride. Be safe out there, Enjoy Your Ride!
