This morning Bev and I posted a ride for anyone to join us on a short slower ride. There weren't any takers but we met up with a nice couple just before Sycamore. We stopped and talked about the bike club and getting them to join in. Then we traveled on to the Tallasahatchee Creek Baptist Church and back home via Twin Street. This made about an 18 mile loop route for her. This is the second such route she has done. All in all she is doing well. I complimented her on how stable she was coming up the hills. She was rock steady in balance. We just have 5 days left to get ready for the century. I was planning on giving her Friday off before the century that morning. I might just let her do a short ride to limber up the legs. Down Oden's Mill and back should do it. Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday have to go a little farther. I am thinking down to Fayetteville and around Cedar Creek to get the length up to the Century. But then again, it just might make her hind end too sore. I might should stick with the 20 mile rides until the century is done.
It might be an early wake-up, but perhaps some of us can stop and have a good meal that afternoon. As it stands right now, I think everyone is gonna drive down that morning. With so many of them wanting to get back for church, I doubt there will be someone staying the night. Especially since it is Montgomery. If we can get showered up, maybe we could do a little shopping. I think Bev will really enjoy the event. I am hoping we get in a group of folks we can tag along with and chat. It makes the miles pass and distracts you from the suffering it takes to get over the hills.
I think we will get to ride with the club on Monday night. I might ought to set up a club meeting for some night this week. I also need to get all my time trial folks together for a quick set-up meeting. The really great news this week is the high interest the Mayor has in creating a mountain bike trail.
