It’s really “official” now as I picked up my FOG cycling jersey before this mornings ride. It really makes you feel like one of the guys.
The ride was great as usual, a much more controlled pace all the way to Selkirk where we “crashed” the local parade for a block as we cut through town. We got some cheers and waves and there were close to forty riders today, so it was an impressive line.
I was at the back of the pack on a couple of stretches after Selkirk when they kicked it up to 47+ km/h for some long stretches. But there was a cool little sprint right at the end of the ride as we neared the parking lot that I got in on. Not sure how fast it was but 6-8 of us were flying out front, quite the rush.
