Jons Blog - First Group Ride

Read my blog for February, read Matts for March and wait for Cleve's - there is a pattern that's emerging!!

I know that if you dont give a ship a name then its seen as being bad luck. Matt, give your damn bike a girly name and lets be done with it. I know that it wont look too tough when we are riding along and you are petting your bike and calling it "Charlene", but if US Marines can do it with their rifles, then I am sure you can do it with a bike. You re already wearing a pink helmet and people are already laughing as we pass, so I wouldn't worry!!

Speaking of being laughed at, when we were at the side of the road waiting for Cleve's wife to bring us the bike pump, an elderly couple passed in a car and the passenger actually pointed and laughed!! At least we are providing people with entertainment along the way!!

In all seriousness, Matt was just unfortunate. Im sure that it will happen to us all at some point. Met Cleve for the first time on Saturday and hes a top guy, however, might want to lose the cyclists skull cap thing Cleve, its not sexy!!

I just wanted to echo what Matt said about Cleve's wife as well. Thanks for that, we would have been stuck without you!!

Looking forward to the next ride now. Bring it on!!
