I clipped on an extra tail light before heading out to the Saturday Giro this morning. We've had a lot of morning fog lately and there was a pretty good chance we would run into some during the ride. The fact that there was not the slightest trace of fog as I rode out to Starbucks offered little comfort. There was barely any wind and the temperature was around 60F under a clear blue sky today. Great riding weather, to say the least. I hadn't been planning on doing the long ride out to Slidell, but it was sounding like a lot of the riders were. When we got to the turnaround and nobody around me turned around I figured, "Why not?" and continued on over the Chef bridge. It was right about that time that I remember we were supposed to be having an NOBC meeting after the Giro to discuss the new team kit. Damn. It was already way too late to get back to the group that had turned around. Fortunately, the "long" group numbered over 20 riders today, so at least I'd have some shelter. As it turned out, the ride was fast but steady.
We were halfway back along Hayne Blvd. when something caught my eye. It was Rob's Shimano Di2 battery hanging below his bottom bracket, suspended by only its wires. The bolt holding it on had come loose, so ater fishing around for the right Allen wrench, we finally got going again. Basically it was a very enjoyable ride
