Speed Demons

Jim, Sean, and I had a quick ride around Crystal yesterday knocking out 26 miles in barely an hour and a half. Did the loop counter-clockwise which was a nice change up and allowed us to use Homestead hill as a good warm-up. Also did the south side of Warren. Came to the rapid conclusion that Sean's hill climbing skills are beyond anything Jim and I could keep up with. The kid is an animal on the hills. But the ride was built for speed, not climbing. We raced our way along the north shore and kept a solid 20+mph pace on the flats. When we hit M-22 we decided to kick it up a notch and got our pace line hammering. We rode to South Shore Dr. without dipping below 22mph. Finished the ride with a hard, steep climb up Bellows hill. Felt good to get the younger half of Team Buzzy out and in formation. Trying to ride every day now til the Tour de Benzie. We'll see how it all works out, cause I'm only goin to the top of the hill.
