I have another neighbor taking up cycling so this morning we met up and did a 14 mile ride. Nothing too crazy, but he was able to set a good pace and we had a nice ride. The weather was gorgeous which made it all the better. Almost cool, a bit overcast and just the hint of breeze.

We jumped on the trails and headed south for about 5 miles. On the return route we went north beyond the entry point and then made a north loop back to the start/end spot. This is one of my favorite 14 – 15 mile routes.

Total mileage was just over 14 and we finished around 55 minutes. Not a bad pace for his first extended ride on his new (and very very fancy!) bike.

I’ve been riding alone the past few years — kind of cool to ride with other people from time to time. Two neighbors so far, I wonder if we can eventually get a little “club” going for the neighborhood?
