What is a bike to a ‘chick’?
Approaching the shop, I had a feeling it would be a light load of followers, as the skies were threatening and the air was chill. A night off; I was not opposed to. Wheelin into UNION CYCLE a solid dozen women gathered to venture the trails once again and another 1/2 dozen met us at the trail head! The trails were prime for a great ride and that is what it turned out to be! So much for a night off!
Milestones were met, soil samples were brought home and the union of chicks from bottom to top and down again proved again to be a worthy ‘get my butt off the couch’ excursion.
Koodos to our ‘chicklet’ who busted a move up a pitch that surprised all, including herself. Nothing like a little hard work to get you a long way!
Our intermediates are picking up pace up and down and I think it’s time to take all rides up a notch. I_riders united at lost lake and a had a fun scurf down fairlane to hook up with our novice riders. Super fun to see rosy red cheeks (likely at both ends) as temperatures were dropping by rides end and there was a steady drizzle througout the night.
So glad to see so many of you remembering that ‘there is no such thing as bad weather….just bad clothes!’
