Anatomy of a Group Ride

Step 1: Ride to San Anselmo Coffee Roasters, and rack your bike in a prominent position for the quick get-a-way.Step 2: Step on inside and order a cup of whatever you wish and a bite of whatever you want...and wait for your crew.Step 3: I don't care what everyone says...If there is more than one person on the ride, it's a race. We just hide behind words like zone 1 or soft pedaling...Yeah right. Go ahead, it's alright, size up the competition. Step 4: Get on the cellie and hunt down some more bodies that said they would be there. You have every right to get mad...You said 9:00 and it's 10:30 and you have spent all of your lunch money on coffee. Step 5: Moto Envy...Step 6: Keep waiting...and while you're at it, work on the tan lines... Step 7: Be prepared for a flat...or three. It will happen when you least expect it...probably early in the ride just to slow the progression even further.
Step 8: Stop for coffee at Bovine Bakery.Step 9 : Get the Blueberry wedge too...they're GOOD! Step 10: Try to do something new and different everytime you ride..like ride that dirt road that has always tempted you.

Enjoy the ride...Always.
