A Quad Cycles Ride
May. 28th, 2009 05:23 pmI started riding with Bobby Mac and the Quad Cycles crew in July of 2002. The rides go every Saturday and Sunday, and have been a mainstay in my PMC training regimen for the past eight summers.
In that time, I’ve grown as a cyclist, memorized every inch of road around Lexington and Concord, become friends with a number of people, and helped and encouraged a number of budding charity riders.
It’s natural, therefore, that they are frequently mentioned in my writing here. But it’s difficult to really share the experience in mere words. So on our Memorial Day ride, I brought my camera and captured the footage for the following clip.
It still doesn’t fully capture the personalities or the camaraderie or the beauty of the ride, but it’ll give you at least a little flavor of what my weekends are like and why I am so passionate about riding. I hope you enjoy it.
