So far this week is going well in terms of the activities/exercise. Since I’m only two days in, maybe I shouldn’t get too excited. Tonight I managed to get my sh*t together and go on one of the local group rides. Sadly, I’m having a rather difficult time trying to remember when the last time I rode with a group was. I guess I know for a fact that I have not blogged about a group ride before, so that means the last one I went on would have been sometime before October 2009… more than six months ago… sheesh.
I didn’t broadcast it to the others on the ride, but I distinctly recall thinking that I would be happy with an incident free ride (no crashes, wheel rubbing, etc.) – more specifically, I did not want to be the initiator of any incidents. Yeah, I know, these are not particularly optimistic aspirations, but that’s what was on my mind. Happily, I can report that the ride was incident free, and actually it was great to ride in a group again.
GPS Data: 67.5km – 2h44m (including 20 minutes of non-pedaling) – 24.5km/h (28.2km/h moving) – GPS route

I've been warned on occasion not to take ass shots, but clearly have not learned that lesson. My apologies if your ass appears in this photo. This pic was taken while heading through the Victoria Golf Club on Beach Drive.
I couldn't pass up the reflection photo opportunity while the group took a break at Mattick's Farm.
