What a great ride! 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!
Saturday - Today we did the Modified City Loop CCW (route
here). 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.

| At the top of the Tram! |
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!
Sunday - 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!
