That is a long time for anything in this fast changing world. Our team has weathered all manner of challenges - babies, families, injuries, a global pandemic. At our core has always been our commitment to the weird fellowship of road biker - early morning, long distances, and the friendships built in the spaces between. I never guessed that the crazy team of 5 back in 2010 - who completed the a two day ride of 150 miles on the heaviest bikes made by man and a total lack of knowledge about training - would grow into a perennial team of 25-30 of the nicest people and friends!</p><p>This is the year we grow past your yearly commitment to the BikeMS. The National MS Society head office killed of a few smaller rides around the country last year, and our beloved ride was one. It was a shock and a blow, and it still generates not particularly nice feelings (betrayal, anger, indifference). We had a good run - raising over $325,000 for the MS Society - but our efforts where not enough, and the fellowship of the amazing people in NM were deemed not worth our local and national chapters efforts anymore.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUpIoVc3x6tTi7Z4FnuVYNwFJdHF1y6bobkYO3UzL5j63kOsBuU4FWRxM-ALi6w27fZ-yIRPOqhiomwvr47LxX0X91kRjl_8km_BXohyvLSvOklfkrMkNb4sd39ITP_gEbO8p6sESxjH-KNN3I3WhH5bEIznC2D0QzwdcHM49vjuwyb9hIzYshSS6WqA/s2973/BikeMS22%20-%201.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Who knew this would be our last BikeMS?" border="0" data-original-height="1417" data-original-width="2973" height="153" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUpIoVc3x6tTi7Z4FnuVYNwFJdHF1y6bobkYO3UzL5j63kOsBuU4FWRxM-ALi6w27fZ-yIRPOqhiomwvr47LxX0X91kRjl_8km_BXohyvLSvOklfkrMkNb4sd39ITP_gEbO8p6sESxjH-KNN3I3WhH5bEIznC2D0QzwdcHM49vjuwyb9hIzYshSS6WqA/w320-h153/BikeMS22%20-%201.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><p>So this we start with a clean slate and a new mission. Our goal this year is to build and sustain our local rider community, as we work through what the next phase of our efforts should be. Those of us passionate about having our own local event are organizing something new under the <a href="https://sites.google.com/view/pedalpueblos/home?authuser=0" target="_blank">Pedal los Pueblos</a> banner! We will be co-sponsoring rides this year with other local groups and building toward a new future of our own local events - organized for the benefit of NM by NM!</p><p>Below is the schedule for the Saturday rides. They are designed to be progressive - so will slowly build in length and intensity through the summer. There will be an ride on Sunday too, but it is a bit more flexible, and is focused on shorter distances working up to about 50 miles by the end of the summer. Our normal departure time is 6 am from the O'Neill's parking lot on Central! </p><p><b>SATURDAY RIDE SCHEDULE</b></p><p><google-sheets-html-origin></google-sheets-html-origin></p><google-sheets-html-origin><table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" dir="ltr" style="border-collapse: collapse;

It has been a strange two year for everyone, but after the false hope of last summer, we are hopefully moving toward more normalcy. This year the Bike MS will be in ABQ again, but we will be back to a two day ride. The routes have been significantly reworked to emphasize safety and bike friendliness.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcuz5Zg3btAMiKCRNfPJt_j78Nt4nSjwI1S6_MUPzDEyzscOxd9xQJx9mcTY4td_ERKFCJCHUFJ1ug_mfIUfbTN-P2vtvKQMq0ZzqE23r7fSk0vv7PTkCGIYZKenUzsfhdsQsAm9K0zRHwXF_qMtz3qL0WkQ33dzM1n1qGxWNQbxZrVM2LqXVD-cIvGg/s4377/51395953743_167052a93d_o.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2121" data-original-width="4377" height="155" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcuz5Zg3btAMiKCRNfPJt_j78Nt4nSjwI1S6_MUPzDEyzscOxd9xQJx9mcTY4td_ERKFCJCHUFJ1ug_mfIUfbTN-P2vtvKQMq0ZzqE23r7fSk0vv7PTkCGIYZKenUzsfhdsQsAm9K0zRHwXF_qMtz3qL0WkQ33dzM1n1qGxWNQbxZrVM2LqXVD-cIvGg/s320/51395953743_167052a93d_o.jpeg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">At the 2021 ride!!</td></tr></tbody></table>Below is the schedule for the Saturday rides. They are designed to be progressive - so will slowly build in length and intensity through the summer. There will be an ride on Sunday too, but it is a bit more flexible, and is focused on shorter distances working up to about 50 miles by the end of the summer. Our normal departure time is 6 am from the O'Neill's parking lot on Central! <div><br /></div><div><b>SATURDAY RIDE SCHEDULE</b></div><div><google-sheets-html-origin><table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" dir="ltr" style="border-collapse: collapse;

It has been a rough year for everyone this year, and I for one am super excited to get back out there and train with people again. We had a quiet 2020 season, where we broke up into small rides of 4-5 people scattered around town all sort of doing our own thing. We had social challenges, and kept up with each other via Zoom call and random sightings around town. We did one big in person ride at our first (and hopefully only) in person, socially distanced, self supported century ride around ABQ, in lieu of a normal in person ride, which had been canceled.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWEEmGzsS9jJTah22h1tcm0dcI1Pzqdrf6jMDUWz0fsR7D3TTCqMruSLkTrxUXBLhD9a_fXkROdFvO6CL229daL6HdbVzn4l9JMrkzVE_BZJ33JW5_eSLw041bxsC3w7PzWZ6bBvNz9W7K/s3072/Pandemic+-+10.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2304" data-original-width="3072" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWEEmGzsS9jJTah22h1tcm0dcI1Pzqdrf6jMDUWz0fsR7D3TTCqMruSLkTrxUXBLhD9a_fXkROdFvO6CL229daL6HdbVzn4l9JMrkzVE_BZJ33JW5_eSLw041bxsC3w7PzWZ6bBvNz9W7K/s320/Pandemic+-+10.jpeg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A weird ride, in a weird year, but great being with everyone!</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div>But we are in a different place this year! The pandemic is receding, the miracle of science vaccine is ready to go, and New Mexico is on its way to 70% vaccination rate. We are not out of the wood yet, but for those of us that have had the vaccine, life is on its way to returning to normal. If you are vaccinated, you can be mask free in the outdoors and ride with other people! (Also free to be with other vaccinated people indoors and out - so seriously get your vaccine if you haven't already).</div><br />The BikeMS this year is also in person this year, but this year it will be different. No two day adventure up in Espanola. Instead, there will be a one day event in Albuquerque this year (details <a href="https://mssociety.donordrive.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.event&eventID=572" target="_blank">here</a>) with an option of 22, 44, and 77 miles.<br /><br />Below is the schedule for the Saturday rides. There will be an ride on Sunday too, but it is a bit more flexible, and is focused on shorter distances working up to about 50 miles by the end of the summer. Our normal departure time is 6 am from the O'Neill's parking lot on Central! <br /><br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><tbody><tr><td style="background-color: white;

Donations are made possible through a <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/southwest-tribes-covid19-relief" target="_blank">GoFundMe site</a> and volunteer staff at the University of New Mexico, Community Environmental Health Program (UNM-CEHP) and the Southwest Research and Information Center. </div><div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAJyl36Q_8RwpAFqM3-qI42vsjVnfEknPZAzbuDBHBDZQj4G8jWakTWLOxFH_7yImzUJrsYLfq7S6lTWnFG_zw-xQeb4vyHXw5nRIrUrsbCTq_2B66PU2EX29LAnld_xAYWl5aPxN3-d5K/s1184/Screen+Shot+2020-06-24+at+6.46.55+PM.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="790" data-original-width="1184" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAJyl36Q_8RwpAFqM3-qI42vsjVnfEknPZAzbuDBHBDZQj4G8jWakTWLOxFH_7yImzUJrsYLfq7S6lTWnFG_zw-xQeb4vyHXw5nRIrUrsbCTq_2B66PU2EX29LAnld_xAYWl5aPxN3-d5K/s320/Screen+Shot+2020-06-24+at+6.46.55+PM.png" width="320" /></a></div></div><div><div><br /></div><div>The purpose of this current donation is specifically to send boxes of food to people who have tested positive but are fortunately not sick enough to be admitted to the hospital. Most of the time, these people are quarantining in hotel rooms so they likely won't have access to a stovetop, but will have a microwave. </div><div><br /></div><div>Below is a list of items that have been going into each package. This can serve as more of a general guideline for what to purchase. If we get dried pasta, for instance, we will make sure it goes to good use. Really, any grains or beans will be well-received. These donations can be dropped at the CEHP office on campus. It's a converted home on the southeast corner of Marble and Stanford (1000 Stanford NE), and the bins will be under the gazebo in the back. Groceries will be collected and brought inside daily.</div><div><br /></div><div>The challenge this week is to donate a bag of the items below! Take a picture of your donation to get credit! And if that is too much time & effort, we would also count a monetary donation here at the <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/southwest-tribes-covid19-relief" target="_blank">GoFundMe site</a>.

On the back end this was probably the most difficult just standing up the backend score collection and final scoring. But hopefully it should be a smooth process going forward!<br />
<br />
Here are the scores for week 1. This week I assigned 4 points for the riding portion of the challenge and 4 points for the social portion of the challenge. The scoring system now 3 points for completing the ride and 1 point for either cross training or additional rides. The social aspect was for spotting other teammates in the wild, taking and sharing pictures (Strava, Facebook, or via email), participating in the virtual happy hour, and doing the challenge.<br />
<br />
Next week will be slightly different, 2 points for completing the ride, 1 point for increasing your core ride over last week, and 1 point for extra rides/cross training. We will also introduce some points for donations/volunteering.<br />
<br />
We had a few perfect scores this week! They are:<br />
<ul>
<li>Better Half</li>
<li>Eric “T1000” Biedermann</li>

<div>
In normal times our regularly scheduled training would start this Saturday. This schedule allows up to build up the mileage to do the full 150 mile ride at the Bike MS on 8/22. We still don't know if we will have a "real" in person ride or a "virtual" ride this year - hopefully, we will hear soon. (But regardless, we will do it with our normal Penultimate panache!)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Having a team to train with and hold me accountable is basically why I formed the Penultimates 11 years ago! (It is easier to sleep through your alarm if you are accountable only to yourself.) So the focus this year is to put together some platform for us to train "together" while apart. Some details still need to be worked through and things will change as we go, but all of us should be used to that uncertainty by now in the time of pandemic. So here is our season as we see it:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Health & Safety </b>- I take this really seriously. No one want to get sick, so we want to minimize our chances of infection. A great summary of the risks are spelled out <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.erinbromage.com/post/the-risks-know-them-avoid-them&source=gmail&ust=1591847511042000&usg=AFQjCNGhNXUQiXtC1YY276V1qdTYq3HIuw" href="https://www.erinbromage.com/post/the-risks-know-them-avoid-them" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">here</a>. Basically - proximity x time = infection. This is obviously minimized being outside, but still not a zero risk activity. Also there is evidence that COVID infections can trigger relapses in those that have MS. No bueno!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Mask policy - </b>Our mandatory team policy is that all riders should be carrying a mask with them on any team event. At a minimum, you have them for rest stops. Whether you wear them while riding is up to you, and there is great debate on the efficacy of wearing masks while doing aerobic activity (a NYT article <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/30/health/running-exercising-masks-coronavirus.html?auth%3Dlogin-email%26fbclid%3DIwAR34hZm8yNaIJEjGqaQKZXxlwnWGCH1ld9bSmcwQqcQ29XhRhp6G1o20ZoQ%26login%3Demail&source=gmail&ust=1591847511042000&usg=AFQjCNFrdDWLpD4lyDkomsAOx_dhLeByWA" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/30/health/running-exercising-masks-coronavirus.html?auth=login-email&fbclid=IwAR34hZm8yNaIJEjGqaQKZXxlwnWGCH1ld9bSmcwQqcQ29XhRhp6G1o20ZoQ&login=email" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">here</a> behind a pay wall here but the short of it, it's hard to wear a mask and little research proving its benefit).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>"Group" Rides - </b>There is safety in numbers while riding - beyond companionship - visibility, support, in case of emergencies, etc... and many won't ride by themselves. So the plan is to have small groups of 4-6 people that will be organized geographically. Each squadron will have 1-2 leaders and 2-4 wing people. As part of this group, we will still maintain social distance (unless you live with the person) when necessary both exercising and taking breaks. Those training groups will then do the team ride of the week (or whatever they agree upon) when best for the group. For example, Nob Hill Squadron 1 leaves Sat at 6 am, while the Heights Squadron 1 leaves Sun at 7 am. Our typical ride schedule is posted <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://penultimates.blogspot.com/2020/06/training-season-2020-quarentine-edition.html&source=gmail&ust=1591847511042000&usg=AFQjCNExiCJwBGSGKyPmMrzbtOJksCoyQw" href="http://penultimates.blogspot.com/2020/06/training-season-2020-quarentine-edition.html" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">here</a>, and I think we can do most rides safely with the exception of the ride to Santa Fe. Rest stops are the biggest question now, but we will figure it out as we go.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Social Media -</b> This is a tool we should use to the maximum this year. If you are on Strava we already have a Penultimates team and you can see the rides and activities that others do. If you are on Facebook we will do lots of challenges related to posting fun pictures from our rides and events.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Special events</b> - We are organizing a scavenger hunt for one of the weekends. In this, you will need to decipher the clues and ride to every feature and take a picture to prove you were there. We will have metrics for doing it the first, the fastest, with the most style, solo and team, etc...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Team Challenge 2020</b> - Combining all the above together - we are finalizing a team challenge that will take place every weekend this summer. Participation can take many forms, and will not be only centered around mileage (you may be able to participate while never getting on a bike). We are making a scoring system to incentive <i>participation</i>. So points for say: </div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">completing the weekend ride</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">completing any weekday rides</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">increasing your mileage/elevation over your last weeks training</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">taking fun pictures, seeing other riders out in the wild, etc..</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">participation in social media (posting pictures etc..)</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">bringing new riders along (provided you don't violate our small team model)</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">attending a weekly virtual team happy hour Saturday evenings</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">donations to BikeMS and other local charities </li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
We hope to have weekly prizes, and of course, the always important bragging rights. We also have vague plans to design a 2020 quarantine jersey which you will be eligible for it you participate!</div>
</div>
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" /><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I want to participate! -</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Look, times are weird, right? But likely you are not traveling anywhere this summer, and most activities are cancelled. So regardless of your comfort level regarding riding, we hope you can join us and participate in some way! Because of the increased effort organizing everything this year, I will need to collect some information. </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So if you are interested in riding to please click <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc5MRUj1zQ_niPtfgg1vFs6qwsXw5xBaQuTTWE8ppLELsMoRA/viewform?usp%3Dsf_link&source=gmail&ust=1591847511042000&usg=AFQjCNHWRpY9tnPyXpFa4OtXjJqGIkjXDg" href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc5MRUj1zQ_niPtfgg1vFs6qwsXw5xBaQuTTWE8ppLELsMoRA/viewform?usp=sf_link" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">here</a> and fill out the form ASAP and use the best email address to communicate with you! </b><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> It's just a few questions and should take less than 5 minute. </span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">

<br />
At the start of our 11th season we are in a weird position. The state of the 2020 ride is still uncertain. All BikeMS events through July 15th are virtual, and we really don't know what will happen with ours. It might be a virtual event, which certainly requires less training!<br />
<br />
I founded this team long ago because I trained by myself for one season and made every mistake one could do. I learned by trial and error. The Penultimates prides ourselves as a no drop team where anyone of any level can come out and get to learn cycling. We are more a family now with riders participating multiple years, and we always pick up new riders every year that end up in this camp.<br />
<br />
However, this year will be different because of the COVID-19 global pandemic. We won't be able to so 20-30 people rides like we are used to. But we are figuring out what we can do to engage everyone and provide a support and accountability to your fitness goals this summer. I know personally that I am unlikely to wake up at 6 am every Saturday to ride unless I am accountable to people, so that is my driver.<br />
<br />
The exact details are still being worked out, but we will still have a suggest distance and ride for every weekend. We will likely be trying out different combinations of small 2-5 member teams that will ride socially distantly to minimize our risks. We will be running a team wide challenge as all to keep us all accountable and have bonus points you can earn every week that will be fun and keep us engaged as a team, even though we might be riding alone.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Here is the tentative training plan for the 2019 season. The general idea is that if you ride this long ride schedule plus maybe get a few extra rides in you will be ready for the full 150 mile Bike MS at the end of August. We will also be doing a shorter training ride on each Sunday that will build to ~50 miles by the end of the season, so those that want to ride the short ride can get some team rides in too. For those of you new to the team, riding is great, but riding with a team is so much more fun! As always, we will try to following most of the rides with a team breakfast at </span><a href="http://oniells.com/" style="background-color: white; color: #6699cc; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; text-align: justify;" target="_blank">O'Neill's </a><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;">(food + beer + Bloody Mary's make recovery so much better). </span><br />

Numbers were low, but I think a lot of people were enjoying an extended 4th of July weekend.<br />
<br />
<b>Saturday</b> - Today we headed out on the 53 mile counter clockwise city loop (route <a href="https://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/2132519053" target="_blank">here</a>) that took us south past the airport and over to the Bosque trail all the way north, before heading east for a long 8 mile climb to the base of the Tram, then south along Tramway, and then home again across the southern edge of the city. There were 14 of us heading out, including a few new riders - always a plus!<br />
<br />
It was a fun ride for me as we diverted a bit out to Mesa del Sol to avoid the Rio Bravo traffic. It was a scenic and beautiful stretch of road totally devoid of any vehicle traffic. The uphills got everyone sweating early too. It allowed for some cool pictures too (see below).<br />
<br />
It was surprisingly quiet going north on the Bosque trail. It can be quite busy with all the walkers, cyclists, (unsmiling) runners, roller bladers, strollers, etc... which earn it the nick name playing "Bosque Frogger". But traffic was light and we made a pretty good pace up to the Alameda open space.<br />
<br />
From there we headed north and upward up the hill toward the tram, but due to a persistent slow leak from my tire I stopped at El Pinto to "quickly" swap out my tire. I ran into all kind of problems, but after consuming all my supplies (2 CO2 cartridges and my spare tube), killing my trusty pump of 8 years, and a second pairs of hands provided by one very Good Gary who came back to see if I was okay, I finally got back on the road. It was my first field change of my tubeless tires, which all in all could have been worse. For example my bike could have caught fire.<br />
<br />
I missed the 1 mile spur up to the base of the tram, but refreshed at a gas station down the road and then caught up with the rest of the rides as we headed home quickly in the ever heating ABQ day. All told, all riders made it home and despite some cramping by some of our party we all made it home. Unsure if there was brunch as I had to meet some family out for brunch, but I hope so.<br />

It could be that I was just overly enthusiastic about getting back out and training with the Penultimates after missing 2 rides of the season opener (bad captain!). But I am back and looking forward to our training season!<br />
<br />
<b>Saturday</b> - Today we did the Modified City Loop CCW (route <a href="https://www.mapmyride.com/us/albuquerque-nm/modified-city-loop-ccw-route-40375534" target="_blank">here</a>). We had 18 riders meet at the first 6 am ride of the season. Not that we were going to complain after a week of 100+ degree days here in ABQ as the morning was nice and cool. We set off east across the southern end of the city to rally at the Smiths at Central and Tramway. <br />

</tbody></table>
After a quick regroup we headed north on Tramway, with most of us intending to rally up to the base of the tram. As usual we all spread out on the uphill, but after completing the climb to the top and the pain subsided, we all enjoyed a quick snack and picture before we headed for a best part - a long 8 mile descent to the valley. We finished off with a quick sprint south finishing up at 9:30 - no brunch today. Hopefully next weekend!<br />
<br />
<b>Sunday</b> - Nine riders met early and did a quick sprint north to the Balloon Fiesta Park and back (round trip 25 miles or so), with some getting stopping for waffles and other logging some extra miles heading out to the airport. Great start to the Sunday ride!<br />

Talking with riders from other locations they just laughed at me - "Cancel a ride because its raining? If we did that we would never ride!" So we are a bit spoiled here in the land of Enchantment with our usually blue skies. <br />
<br />
Saturday was rainy, but we did do another ride on Sunday. Thanks to Good Gary and Ryan E who captained the ride and got everyone to where they were supposed to go. Sounds like there were 16 riders who headed out, so not a bad turnout for a rescheduled Saturday ride.<br />

Sounds like both days were successful - we paired with the Outspoken team for a joint ride after last weekends got rained out. One thing I took away from the weekend is, as much as everyone complains about the 6 am start time, it is necessary when it gets hot in ABQ!<br />
<br />
<b>Saturday:</b> From Ryan H: "Today's ride was a success. It became very hot; approximately 100 degrees. We departed at approximately 7:10am with 27 riders. We altered the route to take Girard Blvd south rather than going down to University Blvd to reach the airport area. Rio Bravo was under heavy construction which made it difficult to get onto the trail on the South side of the road. We had to go past our normal entrance, make a U-turn and then carry our bikes onto the trail. Some riders made a U-turn down at the red light at Prince Street. We finally got onto the trail and then stopped at Tingley Beach. We received a report that the water fountain was out of service. I failed to immediately wait at the turn to alert our riders to turn into the picnic area and I lost one so I had to travel all the way down past the zoo to retrieve one rider and then return. Then, we made a brisk pace up to Paseo del Norte. We stopped at the intersection to make sure we had everyone. At that point, Laura and Good Gary broke off to continue to Alameda to get water from a gas station. They met up with us later at the traffic circle at UNM. The riders successfully turned south onto the Northern Diversion Channel Trail. Many riders diverted to go home. At least one was hot and tired. We attempted to set a stop at the circle at UNM, but most people continued because of the heat. Evil Gary and his new protégé diverted to have breakfast at Tia B's Waffleria. Good Gary, Carollan and I were joined by some of the Outspok'n riders for brunch at O'Neill's which opens at 10am on Saturday and Sunday, but only the door on the south side. At brunch, we had Patty, Steve, John, Monica, Samuel, Gary, Ryan and Carollan. Finally, Good Gary, Carollan and I rode together along Southern Blvd all the way to Eubank on our ways home."<br />

<br />
<b>Sunday:</b> From Ryan E: "We had 6 today. Rhea, Maria, Erica, Evil Gary, Bex and Ryan E. We left O’niels at 0715 and did a modified inner loop. We excluded the far south Bosque trail due to the construction on Rio Bravo. Evil and Bex pealed off on Mountain while the rest rode to Paseo and looped back. By the time we arrived back at O’niels, Evil and Bex just returned and we all ended back O’niels at the same time!"<br />
<br />
From Maria: ".... Good ride except for that crazy Rio Bravo interchange. Even with low traffic, it felt unsafe with all the construction. Bex & Evil peeled off early and went home via Mountain. The rest of us went up to Paseo. Lucky sighting of Eric at the volunteer tent for a race that was staging next to Natl Hispanic Cultural Center."<br />

We are The Penultimates – a team of Albuquerque, New Mexico cyclists. Our primary focus is cycling in the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s “New Mexico Pedal Los Pueblos” Bike MS, a two-day, 150 mile cycling tour through northern New Mexico. This event raises money for research, education, and support of individuals living with Multiple Sclerosis – including those within our community. (For a quick primer on MS, check <a href="http://penultimates.blogspot.com/2010/08/what-is-ms.html">this</a> out). Our team includes several members riding for friends and family with the disease, as well as two cyclists that live and ride with MS.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
The Penultimates formed in 2010 with 5 riders, raising over $7500 for the Bike MS150 event. In 2017, we and raised <b>$</b><b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: times, "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14.85px; text-align: start;">24,877</b>! We have had over 60 different riders join us through the years and have raised over <b>$175,000</b> since our first year the fight against MS. We’re reaching out to our families, friends, and the community businesses we actively support to help our fundraising reach the next level. We are organizing a few fundraisers this year, including our Eight Annual Paired Whisky Dinner hosted by Two Fool's Tavern (the 2017 even is detailed <a href="http://penultimates.blogspot.com/2017/09/paired-scotch-dinner-2017.html" target="_blank">here</a><span id="goog_1614470243"></span><span id="goog_1614470244"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a>) and our Third Annual Happy Hour at Matanza sometime in June (last year we raised over $700 drinking beer and eating!). These events raise money directly for the MS society, but the proceeds go toward your rider totals, so if you think fundraising will be difficult - we make it easy!<br />

Our team has always been about the joy of cycling, the friendship of teammates, and riding or volunteering for a fantastic cause. We may not finish first, but we will finish, and have a great time doing it! We start training in earnest in mid June, and we will try organize two rides every weekend to get you ready for the ride depending on interest. We welcome new riders - either new to this event or new to long distance riding. Every year we pick up new riders that end up riding more than they thought they were capable of - completing from 80 miles to the full 150 miles. Whether you are new to cycling, a grizzled veteran, or just looking to volunteer your time for a good cause, this is the team for you! Go Domo!</div>

The general plan is that if you ride this long ride schedule plus maybe get a few extra rides in you will be ready for the full 150 mile Bike MS at the end of August. We will also contemplating doing a short training ride on each Sunday too that will build to ~50 miles by the end of the season, so those that want to ride the short ride can get some team rides in too. For those of you new to the team, riding is great, but riding with a team is so much more fun!

How are we already at the end? Could it be that we just spent 10 weekends in a row out logging miles getting ready for the big ride? Say it ain't so! That is the secret (at least for me) that training for the BIke MS is a huge part of my summer, and a huge part of why I enjoy this ride so much!</div>

<b>Saturday</b> (courtesy of the awesome Eric and Laura who captained the ride! Write up by Eric)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Seventeen riders set out from O'Neill's just after 6:00am on Saturday morning to tackle the Clockwise City Loop. The peloton included a hardy bunch who had already met at the Tramway and Central Smith's at 5:30am before riding to O'Neill's. We kept everyone together and on course through construction in the Ridgecrest and Rio Bravo areas. We greeted the sunrise as we rode up the South Bosque to our first stop at Tingley Beach. There we had to keep an eye on some suspicious-looking ducks who were a little too interested in our bikes.<br />

<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">As we warded off potential fowl play, we were joined by one more rider. Matt L. arrived, fresh from last week's service as Super SAG Wagon Captain, to bring our strength up to eighteen. Matt had ridden from home and dropped the hammer to catch up.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Refreshed and ready to resume, we continued North join the Bosque fray. The ride North was mostly smooth. Runners and walkers tended to part like the Red Sea for Moses when they heard eighteen of us were coming. (Public service announcement: Remember to stay single file on a busy route like the Bosque. Bunching up and going two-by-two makes it a lot harder to navigate past slower traffic in the right lane without encroaching on opposite traffic in the left lane).</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
The highlight of the Bosque leg was a surprising potential recruit. A pigeon didn't like us passing it, and it decided to try a little formation flying with us. It did okay for a minute, but couldn't hang with the peloton any longer. The pigeon needs proper training, but we liked its moxie. According too the internet, there's a precedent for cycling birds.</div>

<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">We left to Bosque behind to head for Tramway via Alameda, Guadalupe Trail, and 4th St. The Tramway climb was the main event, and everyone conquered it in good form. A large number of riders tacked on the bonus slog up to the Sandia Peak Tramway station. During the cruise down Tramway, most of the early contingent peeled off for home, while the rest made a stop near Evil Gary's new hacienda for delicious cookies (Thanks Bex!) and a water refill. </span></div>

The remainder of the trip South and West saw three flat tires (I suspect pigeon sabotage). Special thanks to Ryan H. for his assistance with all three (including mine). Kudos also go to the homeowner who came out with a floor pump to help with one tire change. </div>

Flat tires fixed, the peloton headed for O'Neill's for a successful completion of the season's last training ride. Next week is the big one. Two days. 150 miles of riding to end MS. Bring it.</div>

<b>Sunday </b><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">(writeup courtesy of the awesome John M.)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">We started out with just three riders: John M., Rhea, and Ryan E, gathered in the cool, cloudy pre-dawn gloom at O’Neill’s. It was dark, but otherwise very nice weather, staying in the 60s for the first half of the ride.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">We headed out the usual way, with a detour to get across Central, but a quiet trip up the diversion channel trail, over to 4th and a short stop at the train station next to the traffic circle. From there, we had a fairly leisurely trip up to Bernalillo, but again witnessed the strange prevalence of skunk carcasses on the road, not so unlike the aftermath of last year’s raccoon uprising on the same road! We saw at least half a dozen dead skunks on that road.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">We went past the gas station to our destination of Kaktus Brewing, took a quick picture, and then back to the gas station for a bathroom and refreshment break. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">After our rest, we headed back at a much faster pace! Sadly, we saw a dead hawk on the road. But, we also saw a possible Penultimates first: an entire mattress on the shoulder! We didn’t let that slow us down, and the fine weather and a fast pace convinced us to extend the route by going down the Bosque trail. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">The trail was not too busy, and we kept a pretty consistent pace of about 20 MPH all the way down to I-40. We would have taken the Mountain exit, but construction there forced a detour alongside I-40 that got us to Rio Grande, eventually. From there, we slowed down to apparently hit every light red as we tried to get through Old Town, Martineztown, and Downtown, mostly along Mountain and MLK, eventually hitting UNM. From there, it was a quick spin back to O’Neill’s. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Ryan, of course, was still fresh, and planned to put in more miles, but my legs were feeling the burn from a challenging flat ride – my favorite kind! 47 miles, total, and a nice end to the training season.</span></span></div>

At this point, we are all super fit riding machines ready to do the Bike MS. This is the special training weekend - the Penultimate training weekend! Only one more week to go!<br />
<br />
<b>Saturday: </b> The high road to Santa Fe! The best ride of the year in my humble opinion. A long 60ish mile ride (depending on where you started or where you ended) through gorgeous high desert passing through some gems of New Mexico quirkiness (route <a href="http://www.mapmyride.com/us/albuquerque-nm/ride-to-santa-fe-route-42680972" target="_blank">here</a>). The ride ends with epic tacos and other New Mexico specialties and plentiful beer at Santa Fe Brewing, before taking the train south back to ABQ.<br />
<br />
We had 24 riders through out the day join us on our adventure! It was an absolutely stunning day weather wise, with the last remnants of the summer rains of the day before slowly dissipating, providing a deliciously cool ride for most of the day, until the last 15 mile slog of the ride where it finally burned off. <br />
<br />
Some riders turned around early and headed home, but the vast majority made it all the way. As usual, we had a wonderful trip, with everyone having a good time and enjoying the beauty of the road, the fun and camaraderie of the team, and the ice cream at rest stop two (which everyone knows is the secret of making the last leg tolerable).<br />
<br />
Special thanks to Matt and the Lane kids who drove the SAG vehicle, cheered riders, filled water bottles, took AMAZING photos, and generally an all around great guy!<br />

<b>Sunday:</b> I think we had at least 4 riders head out today. The normal captain of the Sunday rides Mrs. Snookums took ill over night and missed the ride. Safe to assume a good time was had!<br />

<br />
<b>Saturday: </b>The early morning was a little bit darker than last time. A hint of fall is in the air, as our normal 6 am start time was just barely light enough to ride. But is was a gorgeous morning - over night clouds were still lingering near the mountains filtering the rising sun into dramatic patterns over the city. Today's ride was an out and back to Placitas (route <a href="http://www.mapmyride.com/us/albuquerque-nm/ride-to-placitas-route-260688093" target="_blank">here</a>), a 65 mile ride through the Rio Grande valley before taking a right and heading uphill for 10 miles to where the road ends. Then a thrilling descent and a sprint back home.<br />
<br />
We were 8 strong heading out from O'Neill's, with another 8 joining us at the round about by the casino, and another 2 joining en route. It was a great ride, with stunningly beautiful vistas the whole ride. At the end of the ride, 4 of us had brunch at O'Neill's with fabulous restorative Bloody Mary's.<br />

<b>Saturday: </b> We escaped the mid summer heat for a quick jaunt in the East Mountains. Due with some problems in the road conditions on the 217 rollers (road condition combined with aggressive drivers) we switched up our normal ride and added a quick loop out through Gutierrez Canyon (route <a href="http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/1685420690" target="_blank">here</a>).<br />

From O'Neill's five of us headed east across the city to meet with the majority of the group at the Smith's at the base of Tijeras Canyon. We picked up another 13 riders, and headed out old Route 66 and wound our way eastward and upward. We gathered another 4 enroute, making our total ridership 22 for the day.<br />

From O'Neill's, the first 26 miles of this ride is all up hill, picking up 2300' of elevation to the top of South 14. After a quick break, we headed back down the hill and over to the start of Gutierrez Canyon for another dose of hill work winding up eventually at Frost Road where we had our last break before the last 14 mile descent back to town and the end of the ride.<br />

<b>Sunday: </b>Something Route <a href="http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/742193271" target="_blank">here</a>. Dennis, John M., and Ali left O'Neill's at 6 and headed out for a quick out and back to Bernallilo to rack up some easy(ish) miles. John made the mistake of commenting on how nice it was to ride with "no wind" so, of course, we had a headwind for the rest of the ride.<br />
<br />
It's a fairly unremarkable ride so we amused ourselves by playing "i spy". Of note were almost enough tools for a tool box; a giant bull frog, snake, and skunk (all deceased unfortunately); some wild turkeys (good spot, Dennis); a jackrabbit; and a Vespa cruising along on the diversion channel. <br />
<br />
This was also the first time any of us had to stop at a train crossing to allow the Railrunner to speed by.<br />

While not the most exciting ride, it was great company and goes to show that we can have a great time anywhere when we are riding together.

This is usually the worst ride of the year in terms of pure feeling like you are cycling through an oven set on slow roast. But it was not as bad as in previous years, so cheers all around.<br />
<br />
<b>Saturday:</b> Today we headed out for the Jemez Dam Ride* - a 65 mile out and back through the picturesque Rio Grande Valley, then back through Corrales and then back home (route <a href="http://www.mapmyride.com/us/albuquerque-nm/jemez-dam-ride-route-42677184" target="_blank">here</a>). We were 15 strong as we headed out of O'Neill's early, and picked up another 4 riders as we headed out 313 heading north. After our first rally in Bernalillo, we surprisingly picked up an additional 2 riders represented by the Los Alamos contingent of the team (more on them later) just before heading up to the dam.<br />
<br />
Or rather, tried to head up to the dam. Last summer the ride was cut short by a gate and guard who informed us that a dispute between the Pueblo and the Corp of Engineers had closed the road. I hoped for the best this year, but this year they actually closed more of the road. Boo! Need to find a new route for next year.<br />

After this we headed out into Breaking Bad vistas for the 20 mile loop out through the dusty high desert before heading back into the valley near Corrales. The biggest surprise of the ride was the impromptu stop at the wonderful Hardy house just before our traditional refuel stop. We were treated to fresh baked cookies and plenty of water. </div>
<br />
At this point the group split into two, with the first group (those who didn't get cookies) rolled on just before the second group caught up to them. The second group had two flat tires in the space of about 5 miles which delayed them significantly. But all arrived safely at back at the ride start where a few stayed for a post ride brunch at O'Neill's. The captain is happy to report that the Bloody Mary's are as delicious this summer as last!<br />

<b>Sunday:</b> A quick jaunt around the city (route <a href="http://www.mapmyride.com/us/albuquerque-nm/modified-city-loop-cw-route-265749331" target="_blank">here</a>). Ali, Rhea, Ryan E, Blythe, Cap, and Liz started out from O'Neills at 6. A beautiful and cool morning. We picked up Stacey at the start of the diversion channel and headed north. We had a surprise meetup with Greg about half-way up Tramway and Nellie at the top. A brave few headed up the base of the tram. Kudos to Nellie for her first-time climb! A great ride, with great company. Thanks to all for joining.<br />
