I met some new people that I ended up riding with. A husband and wife that were very nice! That's probably one of the best parts of cycling. It can be such a social event! I have yet to meet someone that I didn't like or that wasn't friendly and helpful!
This was a great riding day for me! I had a very healthy breakfast that gave me the fuel I needed. For a lot of the ride I was in front pulling the small group I rode with. It was great riding with others because when I got a little tired, I could draft behind someone else.
I took advantage of the energy gels which really helped me out alot! Also, I've been using clipless pedals for about three weeks now and I have noticed a big improvement in power! They have really made a big difference!
We rode on highways that I didn't know even existed! I've never seen these places! The scenery was really nice. We rode through old pecan groves and some of these trees had been knocked down by recent storms.
On the way back, we took a little break at the Plantation Agriculture Museum in Scott. I have passed this place many, many times but have never stopped. This is a little jewel and I'll have to take the time to come back and visit! It took about 3 1/2 hours to finish our ride, which wasn't too bad considering the wind. We averaged about 15.17 mph. It started to rain on the last 5-10 minutes and I'm thankful we made it back without getting too wet!
