27 on SART with Tony and Mark

 27 miles 17.1 average with Tony and Mark. Anaheim train station to Huntington Beach and back. Nice cool day, tired of this heat ha ha ha! But Mark is on the comeback trail not having been on the bike for quite a while. We rode a couple weeks back and he did well but today, he did really well and looked strong. Tony has been doing well too so riding with a couple other guys to help fight the wind was pretty nice ha ha ha! 

On the way to the coast, we picked up  rider who hopped onto the back. Stopped at the beach stop and chatted with us a while. Really cool guy and likes to laugh, a BIG + in my book. Talked about bikes and rides for a bit before he headed back. We stayed there a bit longer catching up with us friends. The three of us attended high school together. Wow, graduated 45 years ago.  I used to think way back how it would be to make a 10 year reunion. Heck, we're way beyond that ha ha ha!

But a really cool ride as far as company, weather, and effort.  Really feels great to ride alone and fight the wind alone along my rides, then jump in with a couple of guys that will take the front. Really makes a big difference. Had to say it was pretty fun working together even though I have fun alone as well.

I do not know how these guys do it, ride, remove helmet and their hair is as if they just had it styled ha ha ha!

Wow, riding with partners sure makes it much easier. Felt good and never under too much pressure. A good average and  only in zone 4 for not even 3 minutes. Big difference than fighting the wind solo for 40+ miles.
