Ride from Sidecut Park to Grand Rapids
Jimmie and I rode to the Stitts/Jerome hills, unto Sidecut Park following with Waterville, then 64 south to 65 west to Grand Rapids, then north to the Wabash Cannonball South Fork and home.
What began as a cloudy very cool afternoon turned into sunny comfortable ride to Grand Rapids. The hills along the way on 65 were fun but at times very challenging for this weak cyclist. Jimmie was kind in not to dropping me to far back. Found myself belly breathing often but riding to Grand Rapids was too cool.
Hitting a small town with good eats can be very rewarding. Hitting these kinds of towns during a ride across a state would make the ride more enjoyable.
Finally, two other issues. The HRM was squirrely again at the beginning of our ride. Also, I forgot to start the lap on the Garmin when leaving Grand Rapids; should add about 2 more miles.
MXS: 28.0 mph.
Weather Conditions: Cool and cloudy, later, sunny. Wind mostly out of the north at 10.4 to 11.5 mph with gusts of 18.4 mph. Min: 61 Avg: 61 Max: 63 ºF.

TAB Monday Evening Group Ride
A quick unofficial post-season ride with TAB. It was fun and cool how we all rode in high-visability colors. Jimmie, Dave, Cindy and *. I would have preferred another 10 miles!
That said, I did pull for a short time; about 10 mins. That was cool but I was having to work too hard. I I guess I have a long ways to go to become a stronger rider.
***More intervals, please!!!***
MXS: 22.0 mph.
