you take sally, i'll take sue, aint no difference between the two.
Ok so lets recap the week, not too much to go over. Before heading to Norm's house on Tuesday for a road ride I stopped at HG and dropped off my mtb so Vreeland can fix the rear shifter. I thought it was shot but Jim was able to put a new cable on it and tune it up. Its amazing how easy the thing shifts now and the fact that it stays in gear is a huge plus as well, thanks Jim. Doing the BS50 with gears that work well will be more fun.
After the stop at HG I drove up the hill to Norm's house to meet Germy, Utah and Pugsley. I saw Germy in HG as well earlier when I was bringing my bike in. Dressed in his khaki pants and a golf shirt while holding a huge bike box in his hand, I thought he was working there. Germy looks like he could be a salesman. I look like I could be Carl Spackler. Utah said he gained weight in FL but in this pic he looks smaller.
We cruised around for a couple hours on the modified HG A ride Norm put together. It was a little longer version on slightly less busy roads then the usual A ride. The pace was moderate with everyone content to just put some miles in. I know Black River Rd and Pottersville rd well and pushed a pace during those sections but other then that it was a mellow night. Utah was not feeling well after his trip to FL but as usual he never bails and just slogs along no matter how bad he feels. He is a trooper.
Norm's wife, Natalie, served us up some pasta with meat sauce that was most delicioius after the ride. I like these Tuesday nights, its something to look forward to in the middle of the week. Riding with people forces me to push myself more which is always more enjoyable then suffering alone on some lonely road. The bonus is to chill after the ride and listen to Utah recap his wknd. He always has some good stories to tell.
Oh and this pic was inspired by Norm's daughter Julia. As we were leaving Julia came out in here pj's which had this cute image of Fruit Loops being poured into a bowl. Fruit Loops are so underrated, what other breakfast cereal gives you this much color.
