1st Ride w/ the Frogs 3 Years, 6 Months ago  
Just wanted to say, today was the first ride with the group, and it was a great ride.

B pace was, well ignored after a while, and all in were ready to roll. Enjoyed it much. Apologies from me, if I didn't follow the slowing in turns, pace, etc. etiquette. We had to catch the two, and bring them in with us, . Felt good, rolled good.

Thanks to the guys and gals that were out there this AM. Look forward to getting out again.

Re:1st Ride w/ the Frogs 3 Years, 6 Months ago  
Thanks! I was out this AM and tried to catch up, had a late start, so I missed the group, but still enjoyed the loop. Saturdays B ride was enjoyable as well. I have ridden with other groups, and what I have seen thus far, is the Frogs actually pay attention to those around them, and care enough to pick people up, if you know what I mean. Sat was another great ride!

Hope to see ya'll this Sat. Being new, does the Sat/Sun A group actually stay at the posted pace, or does it slide higher during the ride?

I would jump in with, but I have discovered that 23-25 works for a couple of miles, but it will take a few weeks to pace that for the full ride.

Anywhoo.... See ya'll Sat. Weather should be great.

Jeff

The ride leaders politely enforce the A pace (21 max).
Exceptions are tail winds, but same efforts.
Oops, forgot the sprint on Murray with a re-group at Centerville.
