Last night was the monthly meeting of the Dale Turner bike club . We met at 3rd Place Books in Lake Forest Park, around a huge unfinished rough cut wooden table. I got there a bit late, but the conversation was already going, with my friend talking about goal setting for the STP and other ultra distance rides.
It's always fun to see the rest of the folks, 'dressed up'... ok, well at least not wearing a lycra like I always get to see them during spin classes. This group of folks I think has alot of potential to really do some fun rides. I hope the bike club meetings last, and folks really commit to some challenging personal goals. Of course normally I get to see all these people huffing and puffing on a bike to nowhere, but the goals that are getting set are excellent!
A couple brothers plan to ride the STP, 200 miles. A man is breaking the 40 mile barrier, a huge personal record. Another is being convinced he could ride the STP in one day (aka double century ride). My friend and I are planning a double century ride called Davis. These are significant goals that we're all aiming for.
If nothing else, I hope that folks will be inspired to breakthrough barriers they thought impossible.
