This was a great ride with 2500' of climb -not too strenuous. I could have done this ride closer to 13mph for sure. That speed would have left me in Limbo -far behind the Racers and substantially ahead of Jerry, my ride partner. Due the climbing capabilities of an upright -vs- a recumbent, the Dahon left me at a slight advantage on the hills.
Since I am a "smell the flowers" type of biker, quoting a fellow on BJ: "He has a relaxed, Stop and smell the roses pace which helps others reexplore the enjoyable side of cycling.", I chose to stick close with Jerry V., my ride partner, and the only biker on a recumbent. It was great to ride leisurely chatting along the way.
Also a heartfelt Thank you! to Hndlebar -for the Spring 2008 description of my riding style! I like that quote more and more every year and continue to endeavor to live up to that standard...
For me, riding along at a modest pace is what a Club ride should be...
Anyhow, the ride was a bit cool which warded off overheating with little wind to bog down on. It was a perfect early Fall ride!
