Breast Cancer Awareness

Today ten of us (teamroll:) rode the Breast Cancer Awareness.  We rode the 50 mile route on an absolutely gorgeous fall day in Central Ohio.  It was a brisk start, but quickly warmed to the mid-70s by 11:30 AM.  The skies were crystal clear all morning, basically not wind at all.  It was a great day to ride.



We picked up some of @TeamSperanza along the road to make our peloton a little larger.  Team Speranza had a very strong showing.  I didn't count all of them, but I would guess it was close to 10-15 people.  They are a club our of the Canal Winchester area that ride a number of charity events including Pelotonia.  We have shared training rides and ride with them on a number of charity events through out the year.  Good group of people, so follow them on twitter: @TeamSperanza.



We only averaged 17.8 mph, but a lot of that had to do with missing a couple of turns and back tracking and then taking the all too familiar "yeah we got lost again" shot.  Not that we could actually get lost in Central Ohio, because we ride this area a lot.  But staying on the predefined course, well that is a whole other story all together.  Some say we are directionally challenged.  I prefer to think of it as we are trailblazers and prefer to choose our own path.  Yeah that's it, we're individualists, yeah that's the ticket.


Did I mention it was just a great sunny day with blue skies and no wind?  Check these pictures out.
