Tuesday night group ride (CCCH)

A smaller group meets up every Tuesday at Calvary Chapel Chino Hills around 5 p.m. and we head off in different directions based on conditions and likes.

Today Brian, Vicken, Jeff and I decided on a slightly different route by loading up the hills of Eucalyptus and Peyton in the beginning.  We primarily stayed sideways 75% of the route with the evening wind that was blowing eastbound at about 10 mph.  That kept our spirits up for most of the ride.

The last 10 minutes was definitely a strong headwind and it was nice to have a group of guys to share the workload to get us home. 

What a difference riding with others makes!  I ride solo so much that I forget the teamwork, joking around and camraderie that comes along with others that share your passion and blow off some steam.

We wrapped up the ride at around 20 miles at an average of 18 mph as most of it was climbing some moderate hills.

Come join us!
