The Weekend's Rides 8/6 and 8/7

Unfortunately both team captains were indisposed this weekend (me with out of state travel and Andrew with dad duties), but our team rallied and organized a jaunt through the east mountains.  The lead riders on Saturday were Jeff and Chris (a huge thank you).  Apparently my mapping skills were not that great as I lead them over a pass on a dirt road, which was not what I intended.  But everyone survived and I think enjoyed the ride.

Ride leader Jeff summarized it as such:

"We had six Penultimates out for the Tijeras Canyon/S-14 roller ride today with four completing the entire course (~65 miles).  At the start there was some concern that the "official" route put us out on a dirt road between S-14 to 217.  We all decided to turn back and do a modified route if we ran into dirt.  However, once we hit the dirt we just kept going.  The team did a great job on the dirt killing the hills (some >7%) and avoiding the dogs that wanted to join the team.  After that it was all pavement as we headed north on 217.  It was a beautiful day with great weather."

We had another two do the 50 mile loop around the city, but no report or photos from that ride.
