Sky Ride
14/08/2011
Sky Ride was not as good as I thought it was going to be. Was cool to see so many people on so many different types of bikes in the same place. The dude riding a penny farthing was definitely a highlight.
It was, however, short and not scenic at all. Kinda felt like you were just riding in circles a lot of the time. And bragging about shutting closing roads is only attractive if you actually go on a road! I did more miles getting there and back than I did on the actual ride. Was good to meet a few guys from 63fixed, though. Just what I needed to get back started after a few days off.
Had a go on one of those rolling roads as well. I was not fast on it. No sir.
