Every Fricken Friday Morning – PV Hills
Fun Ride, Late post. Chuck broke away on Oak and left us all in the dust! It’s starting to get cooler… can’t really call it cold yet. A lot of arm and knee warmers out. There was a weird heat pocket as we got up on the hills.

A small group (Joe, Rudy, Gardner) got away on Oak and the rest of us hit the light at Thomas.
New start time and a few old faces… well old guys, but Sean is still a young buck. Great weather!! I think half the group is going camping this weekend. We did have a little variety today, Vlad on his single speed and Chalmers on his TT. And we got to see the Dude at Starbucks! After the castle we started worrying about Justin taking the triple crown, but Craig took care of that. Mike took a hill 4! wha what? And Aaron crushed the sprint!

It was almost a little chilly this morning. Here’s a view on the bridge at the start and a view coming down the last hill. You guys and gals are a great bunch of riders! About 32 strong this morning!! What a great workout! Todd still has his monkey! Hoss missed the shot and people elbowed into our starbucks space. John, what’s up with that? Justin smoked us all on the bridge!!

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!
