Maybe we should book more afternoon rolls. Attendance was great this afternoon. Pelo included Me, Ullrich, Stanton, Dustin, AT, Charlie, VJ and...wait for it.....Fitzy! Bored with the standard loop fare, and in search of a wind cheater, we decided to head north in search of the Parmer passage. Not only was it great to see Dustin and Stanton, but they were our guides, as they office somewhere up in that Parmer/South Dallas area.
It was a breezy and warm afternoon, with temps in the mid 80s and wind gusts around 20mph from the south. My marching orders called for an endurance ride. No microwave efforts, more like a crock pot. Long, slow and controlled ride. With the breeze, I rode the cross bike, my mudder. Garmin monitor was going wacky. I think it was picking up other rider data. as it showed some cadence info, and I don't have a cadence monitor. Maybe time for a new battery.
Fun to try a new route, but too much traffic. and a hairy moment with a motorist that deserves a beating left me really appreciating early morning rolls around the dam.
We had a tailwind all the way up to Parmer, then rotated pulls on the way back. Lost Dustin and Stanton at McNeill, victims of poor hall pass negotiating. But they are both in for 337! Looking forward to that roll fellas! Lost AT on 360 to his rip cord impulse. It was a good day, no epic anything, but no flats, no crashes kinda evened it out.

Route looks like Ichabod Crane to me. Check it out.
