Last week's mud ride and the additional rain since told us to plan a road ride instead of destroying bikes and trails. Due to HP's flat tire and others getting out of work late, the ride started for most of us at JP's house in Zeeland. Six road riders is a new record for the Dirt Dads. We were JP, HP, Bob, Brian, Tim, & Marc. We headed west to the lakeshore, a little north, then returned before it got dark. The route is straight and flat. The weather, despite earlier showers, was clear, sunny, and windless. We practiced group riding, everyone taking our place at the front to cut the air and make a draft. About 35 miles (a few more for Brian and Marc parked at the Zeeland car pool lot). HP's bike computer showed a speed average of over 19 mph. Some of us stuck around for hot dogs (and dogs) at JP's. Notice how JC takes a special interest in cat owner Tim.
Marc, I have new tube for you. HP.
