I had planned to get up at 3:00 AM and ride to and from this TRC planned ride. However, I didn't hear my alarm at 3 and instead woke up at 04:25. It must have been the violent thunderstorm last night that kept me awake and caused water to leak from a canister light above the tub that kept me awake. But, those are excuses.
I was to meet Randy and Geo on the way at Harrison and Sellarolle. They waited an extra 10 minutes before giving up. Sorry guys!
I drove to the start.
This was a fun ride. We had Randy, Donny, Greg, myself, and Geo. Geo was pretty much done in by the ride there so he took a break at Safeway while the rest of us rode the route. Sorry you missed riding with us.
Greg showed up toting his new Tour Easy bike. Evidently, my raving about how great the Tour Easy is led him to checking out some used ones Ajo was selling on consignment. One was the right price.
This was his first ride of any significant length on the Tour Easy.
This ride has a lot of Character including: steep hills, pothole decimated roads, beautiful views, portions with no traffic whatsoever, and some good long downhills. I heard Donnie say a number of times that this is his favorite ride of all that he has done with Tucson Recumbent Cyclist.
