Weekend Fun Rides: 6/30 and 7/1

For the last weekend of our preseason fun rides, we decided to do two days of rides.  This was mainly to accomodate a mid morning bike class set up by our teammate at the Kickstand bike shop.  So we had an early 6 am ride on Saturday and a 7 am ride on Sunday.  We did a simple out and back from Nob Hill up to the Balloon Fiesta Park, an easy 21 mile ride. (details here).

On Saturday morning we had 8 riders join us for the ride, including two new riders. We cruised for the first half of the ride heading north along the diversion channel path, enjoying the brand new underpasses.  We then split forces, with a group of 5 speeding back to the ride start to get back in time for the bike class.  The rest of us took a leisurely ride back to the start, completing the 20 mile loop at 8:30 am.  Sundays ride had 5 riders heading out to enjoy the fine morning at 7 am.  They made pretty good pace, and were back to the ride start at 9 am. 

Looking forward to next weekend start of the season!
