Every Fricken Friday Morning – PV Hills
Beautiful cool weather. 51.6 degrees was the lowest the garmin went. Seemed like we had a few riders decide that it was too cold. Still had a nice group. Remember the cold morning when it just gets colder and colder while sitting at starbucks?

Hill #3 Durrant
Hill #4 RJ
Sprint – Craig
It was a beautifully cool morning. Almost arm warmer weather.
It was also the last 5:30 start and last 5th hill of the season. Next week we’re back to 6am and 4 climbs.
After the hills we got split by the light at McDowell & Galvin Pkwy. Only a few got through clean with a couple following through a strong Orange. The rest stopped.
Chalmers took the sprint and deserved it. He and Tyler were on a break away the whole way back. They worked hard.

Hill #3 Durant
Hill #4 Chuck
Hill #5 RJ
Sprint – Chalmers
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!

We hit a red light on Curry and when green popped up Justin was off like a bat outta hell and no one could catch him across the bridge..even though his shoe came out of his pedal.
Also we’re wishing well for Joe Struttmann who’s recuperating after a gnarly bike crash last Sunday. We missed you today and look forward to seeing you out soon.
