Jesmond Dene Jaunt

4/8/2014

3 Comments

 
An easy route today, just a quick up and back on the Jesmond Dene Jaunt. The temperature went from nearly ideal at the start to nearly 90 by the time everyone got back to VV Park; but it was nice riding all the same: no mishaps, no flats, and a refreshing stop at EscoGelato.
 
Many thanks to David and Mary Ann for the pictures and ride report!
 
And a shout out to Sharon Chaix who competed in the  SF Rock n Roll Half Marathon last weekend, where she took the top of the podium in her classification. Way to Go, Sharon!
 
This week's ridership: 10 Cyclists (4W / 6M)
 
AND... it's finally time for the Big Climb!
Borrego Five-O
Date: Saturday April 12,  2014
Clip-in Time: 8:30AM
Start/Finish: Borrego Springs (Christmas Circle)

And desert weather looks to be great this Saturday!
 
For those who can't make the Borrego Five-O, there's still climbing to be had on next week's route:
Escondido Hills

Climb some of Escondido's hidden hills; featuring La Honda Drive up to Dixon Lake

Steve, hope you're feeling better, you too Jerry. Ed, we missed seeing you after the first leg of today's ride. Felt bad about abandoning you out there, Hope you had a good ride anyway.

Thanks, Mike. The cold is breaking up. I'm planning to be back on the road this Saturday for the Borrego Five-O ride.

OK, Mike. Just couldn't hold the pace after the turn on Sunset, so I lumbered on alone, rode the entire route and headed home. It was, all-in-all, a good ride for me. Glad everyone else got on well.
