I don’t normally post weekly’s, but I saw a friend I hadn’t seen in a long time when I saw Team I Am Love’s ride. When I met him he was a kid in casual clothes with a clunker bike we picked up at a rest stop on the 2016? WC Handy century ride. We had a great time with him in our pace line and averaged 18ish. Proud to see him again opening a new gym in town and hosting a club ride on Saturdays, check them out.
