Lunchtime loop

After-work ride, waited for Steve and Mike for a few minutes, then headed out solo. Started from Powder Mill Park, RR mills to East St, on Jefferson to Henrietta, L on Pinnacle, out Pinnacle to Lyons, to Sheldon to 65, back on Canfield. Cool, a little breezy.

C • jefferson 2

Last indoor game at Webster, against Inter. These are the same guys that we lost to last week, and a week later they are still faster, younger and more skilled.

Treated it as an opportunity to work on the basics for Friday's game.

Event: West Point A-Meet
 

Out Quaker Meeting House to 65 to West Bloomfield, across on Baker, back through Ionia to 64 to Taylor. Short ride on the new bike to make sure everything's aligned. As it was, the trek saddle was not comfortable. Got back and swapped it out for the cheap (but comfortable) Concor from the Panasonic. Much better ride. Also still getting used to the new Look pedals and cleats.

All in all, for the first real ride of the year, nice speed. Will have to take the Galli out later so it doesn't get jealous of the new kid on the block!

First game of the season against Penfield Rangers. Won 3-1 on three nice goal from midfielders (Dennis, Mark, and John). Played left defense most of the game which was out of position for me, but so what? Win's a win.

Ride to game, from game to Thirsty's (does that really count as training?) and then from Thirsty's home.

Powder Mills, hills S of Woolston, easy hiking

Auburn Trail to LVT, W past Rochester Junction to old trestle bridge over the river. Cool night, 32F, no breeze.

Team Practice at Meridian with the O40 A team, mixed around. Played mostly center mid/D. Cool night but warmed up quickly.
