The first week of our Monday Night Intro Ride season kicked off tonight with a group of four tackling the Hadley loop, on a gorgeous evening that felt more like July than May. Ari, Jerome, newcomer Anna and I cruised northbound on Route 47 with a big tailwind, feeling like superheroes. Then we made the turn into the crosswind on Comins Rd, and then into the headwind on Meadow St -- ouch! We climbed the short-but-steep on Breckenridge and then rolled back into Sheldon Field at around 7:00 with 17.3 miles at a brisk pace of 14.6 mph.

We'll take next week off due to the Memorial Day holiday, and then be back in action on June 1 on the Northampton loop. Come and join us!
