May in Motion/National Bike Month!

Happy May in Motion/National Cycling Month!

May 1^st turned out to be a good one for this cycling guy!  A chilly morning commute on the bike donning my Eastside Business socks, comfortable temps for the ride home and rolling the knobbies with 16 other bike centrics in the evening!

Rolling with the Wednesday Crew

Riding with large groups is a pretty cool thing.  I love to hang back and watch the trail guide meandering riders over ridges and down gullies one after another.  My goal is to catch a good piece of trail with this perspective on video someday!



Resting after chasing Shaw up Hardguy and failing to keep him in sight!

Of course May continued to be full of bikey fun: May 2^nd (a Thursday!) TNR, while numbers were surprisingly low due to soccer and work commitments, left the parking lot jammed with BYRDS in route to the ridge.  On the way we came across 3 lovely ladies (Nancy, Beth and Cara) enjoying the beautiful, warm, sunny spring weather.  Our numbers slowly dropped as a few of us bailed off the planned route leaving only 3 of us on the ridge at the ½ way point on the ride.  We lost our final rider (Dave Byers as we passed too close to his home tractor beam) and only Shaw and myself remained as we headed for the Red Headed Finn to rendezvous with other delayed TNR regulars.





Happy Roller



We reconnected with Nancy, Beth and Angela (who happened to met up with the other gals in the Shanes/Bucks area).  Shortly thereafter Steve and Rick came by after their hard solo efforts having had other commitments to satisfy.  Our numbers were back up!  Always remember – if you don’t make the start of a ride, there’s always another opportunity to meet up for a beverage, food and good times post ride(s)!

Thanks for making cycling so much fun everyone!

See most of you at our Team BBQ this weekend!

Cheers,
