very good ride today. started out on the cold side and didnt warm up much but it was good. started early and went down to lambertville with mike and another rider, ed. took turns during straights ina pace line and then rode side by side in climbs and country roads. once we got to lambertville stopped at a local cafe for coffee and a small break. after that headed back and had some decent hills. more long steady climbs rather than intense grades. still had to put some effort in.

then an explosion from my double espresso happened. my legs felt rejuvenated as we came into more short steeper climbs and i blasted up them. felt strong. the way back we experienced more head winds that put our concentration on riding rather than talking but we still had some good stories, especially after a car or two cut us off.

this was one of my best rides so far. after riding to chimney rock and playing a round of golf yesterday and then going down to lambertville today i accomplished to rides ive been wanting to do for over a year. once back at mikes car i told him that this was the best weekend i have had in a long time. ride;
