There were many choices for rides on Thanksgiving, but the pure of heart met with other like minded riders and arrived in San Elijo at 8am for the Turkey W5 ride. We ended up with a committed 6 person group, ready for a new adventure.
W5 manager Mike W was not up to the task of helping lead the group with Will S, so Will had to shoulder the responsibility alone. As you will read below, he bore the responsibility well.
Tori, Cannondale Troy, and I road to the start and it was a good thing that we did, as there was no time for warm up as Will started out on the ride he termed "The ride of the Two Towers". The towers are the two highest hills in the San Elijo area where the telephone repeater towers are located.
I was ready for anything as Tori had loan me a sweet 19" GF Superfly hardtail. Weighting in around 20lbs I wanted to prove I could keep up with the big boys (ie Will). The bike did not let me down as we climbed around 2500 ft in about 5 miles and stayed in the hunt as we road to the Two Towers.
The views were sweeping and the company first class.
