Apr-28: Bahama Beach, A Recovery 103-kms

Byron contacted me, wanting to do Bahama Beach on Saturday.

Ricochet Robert signed on, but indicated he was definitely on a "recovery weekend",
And wanted a leisurely recovery pace.

That sounded good to me.
Also sounded good to Byron.
Because while still firming up plans for the BB perm-pop,
Each of us also had decided to do the Warrenton - Egypt Mtn perm on Sunday.

Recovery.  That's what the plan was.
Recovery?
A recovery ride that came in only 1 minute off the previous course record !
(Admittedly, no fast-riders have done the course, yet, with a view to being fast.)

Ags had also joined the ride.
He stayed with us until the last 9.5-kms on Ghoston, Peed and MVC roads.

He put 8 minutes into the three of us in those 9.5-kms.
----------------------------------------------------------
After the ride, Byron, Ricochet and I were chatting.
I asked Robert if that was the new NC-rando short-sleeved wool jersey he was wearing.
Robert indicated that it was and that he had gotten the jersey only a day or so before.

He then added something about sleeping in the jersey.
Not sure exactly what he said, but it was definitely "'something' about sleeping in the jersey".
On Sunday, Byron confirmed to me that Robert certainly had said "'something' about sleeping in the jersey".

Eddington Cycling Number: 

After this ride:  86. 

Meaning I have ridden at least 86 miles on at least 86 different occasions. 

The trivia oriented might notice that my E has gone from 84 (reached on Mar-10) to 86, skipping 85. 

That is because I have not a single ride that is at least 85 miles, but less than 86 miles in length.
