New Life in Penfield

Another very warm ride on Tuesday night starting from Penfield Town Hall, heading east and then north into the Ontario area. Only one significant hill for my group, but a favorite, on Jacobs Road. I hit 39 mph on this one for the first time - yeah! My energy seemed to wane after that though and I rode toward the end of the group for the second half of the ride. We had almost the same group as last week with the exception of Erica and Gene. The overall turnout for this ride was smaller than last week, probably because of the heat and the fact that bursts of rain fell from random cells that moved through the area at 5:30pm. Look out for random radical rain cells... sounds scary anyway.

The real excitement for the evening occurred in the short group with quite a few witnessing the first moments of life for a new baby calf born in a farmer's field near the side of the road in Penfield. Karen sent me the photo, taken just after the calf stood on her feet for the first time. A video would have been really nice for this occasion. Eventually I hope to put a video clip into the blog, but for now I'm happy to have figured out how to include a slide show. Thanks to Dave for figuring most of this out - I would have given up! Thanks Gene for the book on blogging for dummies, very helpful! I am also grateful to Brian for the great photo's he takes on most of our rides; please send more!

So, what was my favorite food at the tailgate gathering? This time it was my very own guacamole!
