 Chatty Plus Ride
I drove to Cleveland Park to ride with Steve and Ken, but Ken couldn't make it. Steve rode to the park, so I would have as well if I had known that it would just be Steve riding. Steve was on the phone and it rang again as soon as we started, but that was the end of the phone calls. We chatted our way up the trail. There was a lot of traffic on the trail as the weather was nice. It's still cool, but the sun was out and a lot of people were on the trail. We rode to TR and stopped at Doug's Dogs for hotdogs. I had a turkey dog with turkey chili, mustard, and onions, fries, and a sweet tea. Then we rode to the north end of the trail and turned back to go south. In TR we picked up Noel. I see Noel, but never knew who he was other than another older rider. He and Steve are friends so we rode back south together. South of Furman we passed Michael that has done the Sunday ride with us a couple of times. He a young guy and talks a mle a minute and he really talked my ears off down the trail. We came to the crossing at Washington Street. Noel and Steve made it across and I called out "Car right!" and stopped. Michael stopped behind me, but he couldn't unclip and fell over. Once we got going again we were far behind Steve and I yelled to keep up while I chased them down. I never saw Michael again. Noel turned back at Linky Stone Park while Steve and I entered Falls Park. We rode back to Cleveland Park then Steve headed for home while I loaded the bike into the truck.
