What November Legs?

It's Summer!
Started at 9 with three of us. We rode to Excelsior to meet up with Ron. Got there and he was like just out of bed! No kit, he was in sweats! "Oh, my legs hurt", and he points at his quads. "I don't think I'm going to ride". WTF! I cajoled, but he still was resisting. I finally said, don't make me get Amy over here, she'll kick your ass. Just then she walks around the corner, hands on hips, and she gives him the stare. Ron was on his bike in under 5 minutes. During all this Mark was doing Yoga in Ron's driveway.
It was so hard to keep this ride at a reasonable November pace. It felt so good to be warm and not be encumbered by 5 layers. From Ron's we headed for Victoria and then East Union. We encountered a few rollers and a screamin' descent, then turned east with our eyes peeled for Jordan. The requisite lime Gatorade and double chocolate Rice Krispie Treat were devoured. Amy had her usual Doritos flavored Cheesy Crackers. Mark got something good for him, Fig Newtons I think. Who cares what Ron got. Apparently his legs had quit hurting though. We got to Prior Lake quickly aided by a nice tailwind.
These are some of my favorite roads to ride. Tons of farm land, in and out of the Minnesota River Valley, we even had a hawk take a pull for awhile. We weren't pushing it, but did get a little frisky on a few of the hills.
Massive amounts of sunshine were absorbed, along with fresh air, good friends, fun conversation, and even a little hard work all resulting in miles of smiles. 80/19.7
