12-21-09 Ride

Ride from home with John, Dave, and Jim. Headed out Centre City Pkwy to Deer Springs and back via Twin Oaks Valley Pkwy. Back via Barham to Mission, then over Tulip to Valley Pkwy and up to Centre City. The entrance ramp to the freeway was blocked, so we took a detour on Felicita, by the park and back using Via Rancho Pkwy. This is a fairly easy 30-mile ride, with only gradual climbs that are mostly positioned in the first half of the ride. I felt really strong during this ride and had trouble staying back with the others. John had some kind of mechanical problem with his bike and later had to get a new chain, gear cluster, rear derailleur, and rear wheel dropout.

Total mileage = 30.9 mi
