two-man bike club ride

got a great ride in with my brother-in-law after church this morning. it was a cool 45 degrees with a brisk wind that hit us off and on. there were plenty of tough climbs throughout the ride including a bear of a climb near the end.

i felt pretty good most of the time. i only got near my redline on two ascents.

the route we took wound through delaware, pennsylvania and (briefly) maryland. it's the wednesday night ride route that the white clay bike club takes.

my favorite moment in the ride was chasing down a couple of locals on one of the worst climbs. i greeted them warmly as i rode past. then at the top of the hill, at the stop sign, i dropped the fact that i was from kansas where there are no hills. (30.50 miles @ 14.8mph)
