First Social Ride of the Season

We had our first social ride of the season, where 7 of us braved the bad looking weather to get a few miles in.  Three of us cycled north from Nob Hill toward the Balloon Fiesta Park into the strong wind, while the other four cycled their way from other points around ABQ.  We all joined up along the ride so by the time we got to the Fiesta Park we were seven strong.  After a quick break, we then headed back south with the wind at our backs and cruised to the Il Vincino Canteen, which is conveniently located just off the North Diversion Channel.  There we had a pint and some delicious beer sponge pretzels, before biking the rest of the way home.  Not bad for a windy Sunday afternoon - about 25 miles!  It is good to see the team back in action - go Domo!
