Sunday Ride – April 21, 2013
It was a great day for an early(ish)-season team ride following our first committee meeting of 2013; albeit in moderately brisk conditions.  Those in attendance were Jon, John, Tom, Anna, Todd, Sean, Don and Andy. 

Tom and Anna posted the ride so we left out of Charlton at around 11 in 40* temps.  After a fast and cold two mile descent leaving Tom’s house atop Mt. Crumpett, things warmed up nicely as we made our way south into Webster and on into Connecticut.  That was, of course, after we stopped when Jon decided he had to go to the bathroom five miles into the ride (like travelling with children).  The roads were smooth and the wind was at our backs as we pressed south. 

Of course, all good things must come to and end, and while the first twenty or so miles were downhill/downwind we ultimately had to pay it all back.  After stopping briefly to fix the lone flat of the day the pace picked back up and we let Tom lead us through the headwind and hills past tornado alley in Southbridge(?) and to the base of Snake Hill Road.  This road is a must-do if you enjoy 22% graded switchbacks where if you stop pedaling you will tip over.  Thank you for that Tom. 

All in all, we had a blast and we ended the day sitting out in the sun on Tom’s deck munching on pizza and beer and enjoying some good conversation before heading home to the Sunday chores which lay ahead, to some degree, for each of us.
