I had a nice training ride this morning in Granbury, Texas. The weather was beautiful (except for the infernal wind). Three of my friends joined me. Here are three of us at the start (click to enlarge):

Bryce took the picture of (from the left) me, Randy, and Phil. Here is a long descent about halfway into the ride (with Phil and Randy far ahead):

I averaged only 14.49 miles per hour for 47.37 miles, but we had fun. Afterward, we met at Grump's for lunch. Next week, weather permitting, we extend the distance and speed.
