United We Peddled, Friday 12-9-11




We joined forces today.  Jukka’s St Pete’s ride (Hartford Rd and Taunton Rd) joined Carl & Eloise Southampton Twp ride (Retreat Road and Rte 206) and the 5 of us saddled up to ride together.  Carl, Eloise, Jukka, Fran and me (john V) 

It was about 40 degrees when we started. (9:30 and 10:00 AM are great times to start a ride, and it’s about 10 degrees warmer.)  

We peddled the flat lands of Burlington County for 33 miles at a C minus pace.  After we “skirted” around Mirror Lake we stopped at Burger King for coffee and snacks.

Carl gave each of us the option to go directly to Burger King or bike around the lake.  We stayed together but it was a tempting idea.

We got back to Southampton Twp parking lot at about 1:15

Sorry I couldn’t stay to see Fran’s recent Trip pictures.  Work called, maybe I’ll have another opportunity to see them.

This bike puter:  33.4 miles, 12.8 mph avg, 2 hours-36 minutes in the saddle
