Tuesday, June 1, 2010. This evenings ride was with three riders and we covered 18.4 miles at a pace of 12.9 mph. It was a sunshine evening with very little wind. One of the riders commented that the time for the ride wasn't a problem as long as we didn't get into hills.
We are fortunate to be able to find relatively flat routes or choose to head for the hills. Continental glaciation, in our geologic past, left moraines that Richmond is just on the edge of. We can choose to ride the out wash plains, which are flat. Going another direction puts us into the piles of earth the glaciers left behind, which we call hills. Tonight's ride was mostly flat and everyone was satisfied.
There is always time to talk while we ride. Fellowship is an important part of each weekly ride. Our pace is peaceful enough that everyone can keep up and rigorous enough that our heart rates are up.
