5/04/2009 - Ride Report

A tale of two rides, or Why I decided to ride alone.... We started late and headed down High. Crowd was probably 40-50 strong. When we got around 11th a car zipped up and came pretty close to riders staddling the line on the left lane. People got belligerent at the next light. I heard something hit the metal of the car as well. So I decided to ride on my own. I continued south on High and turned east on 5th. I did my good deed for the day when I stopped on 5th to help a guy push his car off the road because it stalled. Rode 5th to Hamilton. Did the loop through the airport. Rode the rollercoaster. Headed back into town on Airport road and then 670 path to Cleveland. Wound my way back to High Beck. 23 miles, averaged 16mph. Good ride for me. Don't know what happened to the rest of the riders.
