May 3, 2025,First BHCC ride of season: Long Dover loop

First Saturday group ride of the season was today. And a 7 am start?? Wonderful! We kept a reasonable pace, even though a few of the riders were showing their 'rustiness' in group riding at the beginning of the season. Still, a good opening salvo for the year!

August 3, 2024,Saturday morning bike punch up with BHCC. On ‘Season Opener’ route.

Sometimes the mornings just are for hard riding, and that's what today was all about. On the climbs, descents and even some on the flats. It's good to see where your fitness really is.
Hot as balls out there today though, 30C and 90% humidity when i got home.
