Schindel getting ready to drop the hammer, or just making sure he is in the photo! A nice group of 11 riders hit the road for the 1st official team ride of 2008, we put in about 2 hours in the somewhat chilly temps. 
We rode the Thornberry loop including the Swiss Alps and Little Italy, the group kept the pace up pretty decent and at times the group blew apart and a recovery re-group was needed. My only fear is that some get discouraged and decide the group riding is not for them, I think we should be OK though, we just need to work keeping a more consistent pace and learn to do a better job when in the pacelines (especially in the windy conditions when the line is needed).I think everyone was pleased with the ride, about 32 miles for myself so it was a nice distance on a rather chilly and deceiving day with the bright but not all that warm sunlight.
Pretty much says it all, great road conditions right now around the area! Nice job to all that showed up, we will not ride next week with easter, so the weekend of the 29th we will resume the team training rides. Stay on the bike and get in shape, so when we hit the road in two weeks we can crank it up a little, right!
Have a good week all, ride on!
