Our First Ride!

Today Claudia and I did our first official group ride. One of our local bike shops (BikesPlus) has a late afternoon ride starting at 6:30 pm each Tuesday. It was approximately 18 miles, and we did it in about 1 hour 20 minutes at an average speed of 13.5 miles per hour. Pretty good for a couple of newbies.

Our friend, and awesome cyclist, Bill McDonald hung with us and helped us keep a good pace and a lookout for traffic. It was a very fulfilling experience to complete the ride, and we plan to do these as often as we can.
