One new thing..., the SOB's have come into being.
(Seniors On Bikes) (Short Of Breath) (Silly Old Boys) whatever....
It pretty much started out when I noticed some other "old" bicyclist were riding about the same time of day I was. First Bob and then Jim. We decided to meet each morning at the Skunk Train parking lot at 10:00 for a ride out the haul road and back.
Soon we realized we needed to replace lost calories and caffine so added to the end of our ride a visit to the Cookie Company (Zappas) for coffee and a cookie.
Over time we have attracted other retired guys to our group and we now number a dozen!!
Not everyone can make the ride so it is hit and miss, sometimes we are just one or two; the most at once was 9, what we call a Critical Mob!!
Once a week, usually on Friday, we do an extended ride.

Today we are going to do a 16 mile loop out Sherwood and back on the A&W.
Having some guys to ride with really encourages better attendance and I am riding almost every day thanks to them.
There is more to say and show but for now, it is coming up on 10:00 and it is time to roll!!
