Weekend's Rides: 7/1 & 7/2 - Hill Work Part 1

One weekend - two great rides!  Looks like we have critical mass for riding on Sunday's now, so if you are feeling up to it, do a back to back ride.

Saturday Ride: Despite the early hour and holiday weekend, we still had an amazing 13 riders show up bright and early to O'Neill's on Saturday morning.  We headed out to do the 53 mile loop of the city (route here).  We retraced our ride of a few weeks ago, and then added a long 8 mile hill climb to the middle.  We were blessed with delightfully cool weather the entire ride. While it is never an easy ride (from my personal experience, anyway), as always the team made it a fun ride.

We ended the ride around 11 am at O'Neill's with a significant fraction of the riders, plus spouses and family and friends joined for a nice brunch.  There were plenty of Bloody Mary's to go around!

The morning was unfortunately ruined by some jerks who decided to help themselves to one of our rider's bikes as it was locked to the bike rack on his truck sitting in the parking lot.  So everyone keep your eyes out for a white and black Trek Domane 4.5 (52cm).  People suck.  Sorry Trey.

Sunday Ride: Four riders joined for the Sunday ride.  Captain Ali lead the intrepid group on a 36 mile loop of the city (route here). All reports say a good time was had by all.
