Circa 1994

   

     Tonight was a very interesting ride.  The only three that showed up to ride were Ali, Dave and Craig.  Hence, circa 1994 when the bike group got started and Dave and I (and Mike) would ride over to Ali's house and pick him up.  It was even complete with an Ali wipeout (circa 1994, 95, 96(x2), 97, 98(x3), 99, 00, 01, 02, 03, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14).  Needless to say it was a good ride (1:50) and the last bit in the dark.
     On a more serious note, the storm that blew through South Windsor last night really did a number on the trails.  There are at least 6 large trees down, making the trails impassable.  Also, it was like an oil slick out there.  Hard to believe that we are talking in the end of August about wet trail conditions.  Hopefully now that summer is almost (I said almost) over, more of CRC will be out to ride.....

     Congratulation to Mark, who won the first stage of the Ontario Games 55+ Competition in road cycling.  He average 38 km/hr over a 10 km route.  Hopefully he can repeat that performance tomorrow to take the title.  Ali was disappointed he couldn't compete because he didn't meet the age requirement.
     As for beer, I brought a case but Ali's fridge was already well stocked.  We are good for next week but Jeremy, you are up next.
