B FLAT

I forward this excerpt from the weekly e-mail of our velo club. Not only does it keep everyone informed of what rides are coming up but also the most recent one and    what was accomplished. I find this communication keeps us moving towards a goal 

together and builds a strong interdependence for a great ride dynamic. Enjoy:

If yesterdays ride was in a signature it would have to be B flat. The ride was very well put together as we rode to the top of McGreger in Ft Myers and did the repeats of the three bridges from top to bottom and then on to Sanibel and finally back to FMB Holiday Inn. We rounded out the milage to just shy of 70. A very tough 70 but very rewarding with the usual trash talk by my fellow riders. The weather cooperated with us until about 10am when you could feel the heat start to reflect off the black top and next the air hung thick with humidity that is until we hit the cape coral 

bridge and the cool wind off the bay came and gave us a second wind as it were. 

When we got into Salli's bike shop on Sanibell we were happy to have a pit stop. I can tell you as for myself I drank about a gallon of water and sweated everything outbut about a 1/2 cup of fluid. Yes it was hot!SO HYDRATE my friends even if you don'tthink you need too drink.

Our first long ride was plagued by flats and this one was recreating that same note of disharmony as our deraileurs wired away in the key of 'k', as in for kick arshe. We were traveling @ about 21 to 23 mph on the way up and had just a real great time in the rhythm of our travels. As a side note it was great to see stuff you miss whenyour driving to a destination in your car. But I digress. 

There was a quartet of us brave souls to attack the bridges and never did we get to strung out nor did we fret about the traffic.  All in
all it was a great ride , thanks Tom, and I hope to do it again real soon. I found this article on line and would like to share it with you all. I find it very
interesting that so many publications are for or against something based on there 

own ideals and not interested in finding out the facts. However if you run across 

stuff please  forward to me because I really want to understand the bottom line and not just what someone thinks no matter how good intentioned.
