Three of us met up in the early morning light at our rally point in Nob Hill. I missed yesterday's adventure due to a cold, and Ali - who usually leads the long ride - was still a little under the weather. So John M, Buddy, and myself decided on a quick ~36 mile loop around the city (details here).
We enjoyed the cool morning and headed out in good spirits - south past the airport before turning west along Rio Bravo, before catching the Bosque trail looping south and then back north. After a quick stop and refuel at Tingley Beach (under the baleful gaze of a very grumpy goose), we headed back north.
Apparently, not too many people like cycling early on Sundays as we only passed two lone cyclists until we got just north zoo, but then things really got busy - hordes of runners and other cyclists. There were also a lot of balloons in the air this morning, we saw a group of about 7, each one in turn drifting below the tree line then go shooting skyward. We finished up by heading east again at Paseo and then south on the diversion channel trail. We made a quick ride of it, finishing up by about 8:30, keeping an average pace of about 15 mph the whole way. Great way to get out and enjoy the morning!
