Rainy, but Eventful...

Got up this morning and looked outside. Not only was it dark but it was wet!

I figured because no one posted that I would not be riding. But much to my surprise, when I got to Tim Hortons, there were 5 other riders there! You guys are troopers!

Well, we started off wet and cold, not sure at times whether it was actually raining or just rooster. For some reason it seemed harder to ride than usual. Guess it was the head wind and rain. As we approached Main St. Stouffville there was so much fog that we all decided to go straight to the coffee shop.

At the coffee shop Stefan had some eye problems and had to bail, but the topics of conversation were quite interesting.





"How you do'in?"

James ended up getting a flat on Stouffville Rd. and I'll let the video explain the rest...
Quentin, thanks for Timing!
James, Nice work on the 1st Surgery, but don't forget to remove the bullet next time.


James is getting ready...


Pictures say a thousand words.



Here are the stats:

T: 2:45:37

Dst: 80km

Avg: 29km/h

Max: 50km/h


From an elevation perspective, we hit a low point at 15.8km of the climb (85m) and then hit peak altitude at 38.8km (280m).

We had total ascent of 666m (bad day for the devil) and total descent of 829m through the ride. The last 28k was a net descent of 140m (163m of climbing and 300m of downhill).(Courtesy of Quentin)

All in all, great ride!

THE END.

The Miss Clairol pump was impressive - the rest of you should follow Christian's lead and keep one in your purse.

Man.. I'm sorry I missed this one.. I think I'm way out of shape to keep up with you guys now. Thanks for posting the video though :)

PS - someone might want to check their altimeter -- I think if you start and end at the same place, the net climb/descent should be the same number. If not, I want in on the next "all downhill" ride!
