The ride started out great, nice and easy, not too fast. The lights kept us together, no breakaways. Near the top of the first hill I heard a loud chank and looked over as Vlads chain broke and started dragging on the road. I knew I had an extra link so I stayed behind..Hoss, Todd, and I coached Vlad on, not wanting to touch that greasy chain. What a mess! The only consolation is that we didn’t have to do hill 3!!
We had some surprise appearances this morning at starbucks! Struttman dropped in with some delicious cookies and sporting a nice cane and shell. Good to see Joe up and about. Aaron rode in with his daughter Adeline (sp?) for some quality time with the FMR gang. Good times!

Warm and muggy, but still cooler that 3 digits. nice group for the holiday weekend. No angry walkers today. At least 2 flats, one on the top of hill four and one on the way back. Somebody stoked the fire for the fast train at McDowell and we flew at speeds above 30 and made the light on Curry. Great work! Welcome to Kirby’s friend Brian, 1st timer.

The Friday Ride rolls again. Our friend that yells at us while holding his coffee had his dog running loose for us as we rolled down hill #3. Nick, our friday rider who is also a phoenix police officer, “talked” to him. I wish I was there to hear the conversation… The sprint was a pack of 9 that made the light on McDowell. We all got stopped at the light on Curry and once again POW right from the green light it was all out pain, as hard as you can go. Aaron championed through and stayed on Justin long enough to get around him when he faded towards the end. Great riding guys and gals!! If you have pictures, email them over.

Todd’s Quest
Heads up..
(There was a monkey with a rider stuck to it’s butt this morning… If you’re wondering why… here’s the deal;)
Pan Mass ride was incredible, and now I just need to reach my fundraising goal, about $500 more for the children. The monkey stays on my head, till I get over the top. Help Todd get the Monkey off his head!!! Or, help the monkey get rid of Todd..
