An Innovative Ride
This week saw a new approach to the Peloton organisation with one ride, but multiple starting points.
8 riders [Tom, Bob, Ian, David, John, Jim, and Norm x2] left from Foi Epi. Doug joined at Mann Const. with Hans joining at Broadmead. Norm L. headed back at Matticks. So then we had about 9 riders, maybe 10? James J. was sighted flying by in the other direction around Heritage Acres, already on his return trip. At the coffee shop Wayne and Cy were already in relax mode; there was lots of room on the busy, sunny Georgia Cafe patio for all Pelotoneers. Wayne and Cy had added a new format by taking the bus to McTavish using the bus bike rack, but riding back on the Lochside. This just shows us that there are so many more variations than our talented but "ex-bureaucrat heavy" executive can envision (who are you calling heavy?). It was a wonderful day for a ride. We set a blistering pace covering about 60 km return from Foi Epi at an average 24.2 km/ hr. No incidents or near misses were recorded. The trail was quite busy with many modes of transport and several inexperienced users of those modes - we need to be continuously diligent and responsible in avoiding these hazards.
No pics., but Jim provided us with the Garmin Summary.
