Sunday Bloody Sunday

Well...today I got introduced to a long slow distance ride J.T. Cody style. I ripped myself out of bed after a brutal shop ride on Saturday and tried to figure out what clothes to put on. I decided to basically throw everything in the truck. Leg warmers, arm warmers, skull cap, long gloves, short gloves, etc. After arriving at the Starbucks at 1604 & Blanco, I gave into peer pressure and stripped off the leg warmers, but kept the arm warmers and skull cap. I was glad I did...A large group of B-H, Solar Eclipse, and a few outta towner headed south...mostly downhill and with a nice tailwind. This was bitter-sweet, as we knew we would have to fight a headwind uphill all the way back. I got to see a lot of S.A. that I haven't seen in quite a while. It's kind of surreal rolling thru downtown on South St. Mary's when it's deserted on a Sunday morning.We kept cruising thru southern Bexar county toward La Vernia where the terrain turned mostly flat. Motorists were courteous and overly cautious for the most part, and our large posse waved with gratitude to all. The quote of the day...uttered by J.T. hisself was "I swear this road was paved the last time I rode it." Despite that, we only had 3 flats and finished up with 92 miles under our spandex. I wish I had some pics, but didn't think to bring the camera along. Thanks to all the B-H and Solar riders...esp J.T. and Skokie...we make a good team.
