It was seriously like we were on some sort of team of something.

It was a good weekend for riding. The weather wasn’t outrageously cold, although it was definitely colder than it initially seemed. Dave, Aaron and I got our act together for a Sunday morning spin. Our 30 mile route took us out to Huntington and back on mostly gravel roads. Dave had to break in his new Salsa La Cruz, and this was a perfect ride for such a bike.

We did the ride at a blistering pace, averaging 14 mph, which I found to be pretty impressive considering there was a cold north headwind that seemed to be there no matter what direction we were going. There was even a little bit of climbing, 1669ft on our lollipop loop.

We saw a few folks out hunting, and we even came across this little guy.

Fortunately, no one had to take a tomato sauce bath.
