The Roaming Ride headed over to Triad Park tonight. I had an ulterior motive for choosing Triad Park: The VeloWife was organizing a picnic there for our Meeting (Quaker-speak for church), which meant I could hop off my bike and dig into some barbecue. Perfect.
This being the Roaming Ride, we went looking for hills. The first was a warm-up on Pumpkin Ridge Rd, followed by the long climb around Mt. Trashmore (a local dump), a fast run up Linville Rd, then the grind up Bunch Rd. Mission accomplished. We wore out everyone’s legs while logging 28 miles.
And yes, the barbecue was excellent.
