This was the first really nice day for biking for the year. We started with the temperature in the 60s and finished with the temperature in the 70s. It was sunny most of the time. There was wind from the SW. It did help us make a very good time going north. After short discussion (and few arm twists) we decided to extend the usual Panera to Panera ride with the look around the cemetery at the end of St. Mary Road.
Certain "lazy" rider with a power meter in the bottom bracket (no names mentioned) made many not so lazy sprints (mostly uphills). The rest of the group was going steady in a pace line. We had the usual stop at the Panera in Lake Bluff. The wind was in our face on the way home, but other than slowing us down a little, could not spoil the beautiful day. Everybody made it home in good spirits. Hopefully the good weather is here to stay. Stay tuned for a busy ride schedule on the Memorial Day weekend.
P.S.
Cons pulled a fast one on Martin. Not only he had his new, light saddle on, but he somehow convinced Martin to use his old and "heavy" saddle. I bet now the weight difference is at least 0.03 pounds.
