Sunday Ride 11/9

This weeks addition of the Sunday ride was a perfect tempo for this time of year . There were a few sorties off the front that just dangled . The first serious move came from the duo of Chris the "jelly donut" Crowell and Eric "Jeeves" Merill . They had a good gap past the ski station . The gap was about 30 seconds , with a tail wind the field didn't seem to be worried . The pace picked up on the false flat near the old meat packing plant . Then shortly after Mike Mcg made the move to go across with a few others in tow (noticeable was the Turtle) The dynamic duo up front put up a good fight with the help of Big Johnny on a motorcycle . The two groups joined at the turnaround hill but the field was right on their tails . Over the top everyone was back in the group expect Mike and Jelly Donut . On the decent Jeeves made a big push to cross the gap . The trio had a 30 second gap , or 3minute one in the eyes of Mike ? By the light in Southington it was grouppo compacto . On rt 10 it was headwind city . The group rolled in nice and peaceful . Then the ride back to Stop and Shop we got to hear how great Crowell was today . If he was only that good on race days ?
