Father's Day Weekend

Got out last weekend for a couple of really nice ride totaling about 50 miles. The first was with Chea on our old friend the Musketawa trail. Went out past Ravenna making for an even 30 miles. Nice pace of about 17.5mph with all of the road crossings. It was the first time either of us had ridden the trail this year and on the new Allez's. Second ride happened on Father's day in frankfort. Woke up early sunday morning and drove up to Frankfort to get in a morning ride with Dad and Jim. Tried to get Joel to ride with us but he was feeling tired and lazy and opted out. Being that it was father's day we didn't give him too much grief. The ride we did took us out M-22 to Grace road and down around Upper Herring lake. We decided to take the south side of Straton hill back into town and wow is that a big hill. Kept a slow up steady pace up the mile long climb and suffered for it. That constant pain in my legs let me know that I was keeping a good pace but it didn't stop hurting until I was on the decent cruising at a wicked 45mph. It was a great ride and it sure was nice to get out on those frankfort roads. Numbers for the ride were 16.6mph average over 22miles. !623 miles to the top of the hill.
