Ride Often, Ride Hard!

Today's ride was a great celebration as they PCRs summited Big Mountain for the fist time this season to sing happy birthday to Mr. MBA, 61 years young, and he can still kick your butt. He was given the reins to pick the route and ETD and for some it was a little too early, and too much. However, those who arose early had another EPIC ride. Big Man had been out recruiting and Greg Peterson (King of Tarts) joined the PCRs today. He was a little quiet when he first joined the group, not knowing what to think, and when the ride was over he was still not knowing what to think. "Are these geezers for real?"  Big Man favored the group with another thought provoking TATS:

"It's OK to have fear, but it's not OK to fear the chance to try. I learned this lesson from my grandmother, who said, The brave do not live forever, but the cautious do not live at all."

The descent back down the canyon was a fast one, with several needing to get back for soccer games, honey dos, birthday gifts, etc. Queen of Wraps was feeling his oats after being up since 3 AM with his young daughter and wanted to see if the geezers really could stay in his wake. GQ was sporting a new parole ankle bracelet and hopes he will have it off by the end of the season. Big Man continues to encourage all the PCRs to make new friends, even if it means breaking away from the group once in awhile.... :-) (watch video, and meet Nate)

Big Man had to pull back on his sprint to the summit to allow these young bucks to beat him knowing, 

"There is no crying in cycling"
