Riding with Monsters Ride Report 11/8/08

I arrived at Exxon on a chilly Saturday morning around 6:45. Rhonda was already there waiting comfortably. Miguel and Gustavo showed up a bit later. Four riders total this
Saturday morning. We took off west down Military at a nice pace of 17-20mph. We continued up Bryan to 495 where Rhonda broke away from our small group.

I knew that once she left that I was in for a world of hurt. Gustavo and Miguel quickly picked up the pace as we continued on our 30 mile non stop ride. I quickly learned that these people I was riding with were monsters. The wind had no chance against these monsters! Even though I tried to do my part and help pull, I soon found myself in the back trying to guess where and when we were going to pull over for a breather. Having never ridden this route there were many options. Would it be the watermill, one of the many gas stations littered around the route, the park? I realized these breed of monsters do not need oxygen or water but instead live off the pain and suffering of the weak.

We finished off the 30 miles in about an hour and a half time. My top speed was 31mph going down Ware Rd., within 5 miles of our destination. Definetely one of the fastest rides I have been one. I look forward to the next ride with the monsters. Here is a picture of some new wheels I got along with the route we took.
