Ride #6 - May 20, 2011

It was such a nice day that I could not pass up the opportunity to take a ride.   It has been raining so much and not very good riding weather.  I could not ride with Dave and Dave since they were taking the afternoon off since I had to stay at work until 4:00 PM.  So got home, changed quickly and was off riding at 4:45.   I crossed path with Dave and Dave at about the 3.5 mile mark on the trail.   We talked briefly and then I continued by ride to Coleman.  I was averaging about 17 mph on the way up.  I didn't stop and took a break in Coleman for a couple of snack bars and then headed back home.

  I had a little head wind that developed into a harder wind by the time I got into Midland.  And I ran out of gas not having any food since noon time.   So I struggled the last ten miles but got home in about four hours.  Fortunately I caught Mary by phone to bring me home some fish sandwiches as she, Julia and Joe were leaving the movies.  Nice day and biked in short sleeve shirt and shorts for this nice 54 mile ride.
