Feeling the August Rush

4 DaVille Cyclists were able to meet at Milestone Clubhouse to rack up some miles given a gorgeous August morning. The group had their eyes set on the Georgetown loop – traveling down peaks, over 301 and continuing down Georgetown, left on Fire lane to Pollard Creek for a noted segment, then all the way down Studley (with a detour to wave at those posted at MANNdate), right at Atlee and back over 301, through Rutland and down Cool Spring Rd, finishing up on New Ashcake to return back to the Clubhouse.

Here’s the Strava link of our ride:

Today’s pace was quicker than usual, averaging 19.3 mph upon returning to Milestone. All riders were able to rack up a slew of PRs along with Chainsaw taking 9th overall on the Pollard Creek Climb (1:35) and YHC taking 9th on the Rutland R (2:41).

We had 3 returning faces along with Ed (FNG) that showed up this morning. Chainsaw and Ed broke off from the group just before returning to Milestone.

Announcements:

• The Q is open for next week – please let me know if you’d be interested to head up our next Wednesday ride.
• F3 will have a team at Reese Strong 5K 9/16 – more info and register below: http://www.reesestrong.org/reesestrong-5k/
• 3 years since YHC completed his cross country ride (SanFran -> DC) I’m so grateful to have been introduced to this sport – not only has it introduced me to the great world of cycling, but it has provided me with countless memories to look back on and friends to create new memories with.
