Excellent ~~intermediate~~ fast gravel ride tonight! It was good I arrived a little early tonight so I had a little time to chat at the beginning, because once we got rolling I was busy hanging on. It was nice to see a mix of new and familiar faces. With eight riders, this was my biggest group ride this year. The group worked well together and it felt good to move along at a pace faster than I anticipate. Thanks for all the pulls. I think everyone took a turn pulling me around tonight 😃. The weather was fabulous. Our very long shadows were interacting in interesting ways, the bright sun at our backs gave off an interesting glow, and by the time we were done we the bright moon was ducking in and out of some light clouds. I thought of @KevRidesGravel when some construction on Boomer provided us a little adventure. With a group this strong I don’t have the time for any photos. @Sammy_Ryu, do you have any photos to share for this ride? ---
