Bike Events

Packing all the bike things in a fabric grocery bag the night before. Putting air in the tires, water in the bottle, snacks in the pocket. Waking up weary-eyed the next morning and pouring my spandex-clad self into a car. After a brief drive, joining anywhere from dozens to thousands of other spandex-clad people on an epic adventure of sights, smells, tastes, and feats of mental stamina. It is the big group ride, the organized bike event. Like a baton-twirler in a parade, or a corporal marching in an army, I am among strangers who are friends. I am indistinguishable from the rest, surrounded by those who share my passion. It is the big group ride, the bike event, and it is one of my most favorite things.
