Battenkill done and the seduction now fading, I returned to riding just for the sake of riding today. I had to, actually, as the new City Loop Mafia kits had arrived in the mail. It is well known that you can't leave a new kit sitting around for too long, lest it spoil.
Mitch and I rolled out of Winston around noon. It was surprisingly chilly, but by the county line we were plenty warm. We took a direct route to Pilot, catching up and spinning the hills. On the slopes of Jomeokee, we caught a small group of cyclists, offered greetings, and kept going. Mitch adhered to his ritualistic duties and enjoyed a Mellow Yellow at the top (the Mt. Dew machine was busted).
We pushed a little harder coming home but we were never really in a hurry. This was a perfect ride to follow the frenetic Battenkill.
Next up? Mulehell-Roubaix and then the BURN 24. Gonna be a fun spring!
