The original plan was for a moderate ride on Saturday and a hard ride on Sunday. However, Saturday's 42 mile Panera to Panera ride featured a number of hard sprints, and turned into a fairly energetic training ride. Although, I missed the Barrington Hills segment of the Sunday ride, the early part of the ride turned out to be at a more moderate pace than Saturday's ride
Saturday's group included Charles, Cons, Heidi, Herb, Rich, Felix, Ian, and me. Cons invited the group back to his house after the ride for a viewing of the Sub 5 Hour Century Challenge video. It is a professional quality effort. The official premiere of the video will be at the EBC monthly meeting on 10/18 and after that we'll post a link to the video on this blog.
Sunday's group consisted on Cons, Clay, Felix, Hugo, Herb, a couple of my friends, Tom and Bryn, and me. Clay gets bonus points for joining us on his anniversary. This gave him a pretty good rationale for turning back after a stop about 35 miles into the ride.
Randy's recap of last weekend failed to mention the limoncello (? spelling is likely wrong) at Cons' house which raised all our spirits (we were raising the spirits, I guess) AND the loooonnnnngggg donut stop at Deerfield Bakery on Sunday - where the EBC20+ group intersected the ride I was leading to Cuba marsh.
