This is how we roll

For mid December, yesterday's weather was near perfect for an afternoon ride. The streets were a little damp but spirits were high as we gallivanted through Centennial Park, Sylvan Park and Elmington Park (where we witnessed the pseudo-bravehearts practicing the slaughter of their brethren).

After cruising Belmont/Music Row and the Demonbreun corridor, we proceeded across the Gateway Bridge. From the brige, the scoreboard at LP was visible and clearly indicated that Titans were headed for another victory...or so we thought.

Ron led the pack down the Shelby Greenway and we checked out the progress on the new pedestrian/bike bridge which will be the focus of an upcoming bike event. From there we backtracked to 3Crow. I was pushing a 46x16 single speed and Dan decided to lead us out of Shelby Park by climbing a hill steeper than El Capitan.

Christen and David on their tandem with daughter in tow decided to call it a day as it was getting late and darkness loomed. We joined the crowd at 3Crow to revel in the Titans victory. How things can change in a few short minutes in pro football. They lost, but the pizzas were good.

The highlight of 3Crow is when some dude who was double fisting a Miller High Life and a glass of straight whiskey accidentally marinated Dan's entire torso with the whiskey. Thank goodness there were no open flames around !

Having viewed the extended weather forecast, I don't want to prematurely post details for next weekend's ride. Check back later. JVC
