summer weather ride on monday

i already had a road ride planned. the weather was a bonus.

the idea was for at least 2 hours but more as time, mind, and body allowed. the total.. just over three hours (50 miles and some change). that's right. i finally broke over 200 miles on my serotta nove.

i rode through town out 11 to mountain pass road. once on the parkway, i headed back towards town knowing i could vary the ending with how i felt. with some extra water, i made it to poage valley underpass and descended back into town.

Thanks to Mark of North Carolina. Mark was in town for a meeting and getting some parkway miles on his Campy equipped Trek 5200 with freshly added FSA compact carbon cranks. Anyhow, running low on H2O, I spied Mark's gallon of water as he was loading up his gear. He graciously shared some water and bicycle conversation.

Speaking of Mark's... the fire monkey was missed today.
