Friday June 24th "I'm new from top to bottom!"

Today 10 of us launched from Vincentown with Conte's the destination.Got my stats messed up so the guesstimate is 26 miles or so in about 2 hours 40 minutes.The riders were Yoli,Fran,Kathy,Eloise,Carl,
Chris,Joe,Jukka,JohnD,and myself.Have to admit that I struggled to Conte's even walked the hill at FoxchaseRd.(thanks for the companyChris)but being a good group,they had patience with me.Riders were able to breakaway but then the group had to wait for me to catch up.While at Conte's Niles led a small band from TeamEvesham in consisting of Olga,Ross,and Dave whom Fran worked with in a previous century.Had a change of route on the return useing 532 to OldIndianMillsRd.which has a nice
coasting hill bringing us out at HawkinsRd. about 300yds. west of 206.Something changed at this regrouping,when I called 'breakaway to stop sign 2 miles'I should have called'Katie nail the barn door shut'.People took off a'flyin',Jukka told me Fran was competeing with him,when he did 21,she did 22,so he did 23,so she did 24; people flew past me like there was free money at the stop sign.Even I hit 20 but backed off and stayed in the high teens.All in all a short but satisfying ride.
  At the pre-ride Jukka announced that" I'm new from top to bottom, a new helmet,new cycle shorts,and new tires" .  After the break we were all new with the speeds we were doing,and that was from top to bottom also. Jukka enjoy your new equipment for a long time.
