DON'T SHOW UP FOR THE SUNDAY RIDE WITH THAT SCHWINN JUST YET




In Redlands there are many cycling teams. Each of them has there equal compliment"s of poser's, guys who actually race , Fred's and weekend warriors. If you spend enough time on a bike in Redlands you will eventually end up on one of these teams.

On Team Redlands we are lucky enough to have " the four horseman ". These are the four guys who dictate where we go. how fast we go there , how many miles we go , so on and so forth.

The Sunday ride has been well, very lame for a while now. None of the horseman show up. The Sunday ride is pretty predictable with a bunch of irregular surges , half Wheeling and a sprint for a mailbox near the Mormon church. Nothing to blog about.

Today as I sat there with the other " plumbers " of the team a weird thing started to happen. Norm showed up.......Then Zack..........OK the Sunday ride just got interesting. ..Whoa there's JT... then came Turner...

These four Horseman had not been on the Sunday ride since we moved to Stell's.

Long story short...I got home at 1:30 pm today from the ride...Rode through lots of single track....Threw my bike over a fence...Heard a guy yell " Sick balls chopper " had a peacock attack my bike...Had a fat women on a horse in Norco yell at us...

The moral is this ..the four horseman didn't get that good on there bike's because of that predictable Sunday ride. These guys push the miles and the tempo...We should always ride like were with the four horseman...
