[DVBC] Wednesday RTP Rides Ending/Return of AHCS Rides

[Chaga, Debra]

Those of you that have been coming out for the Wednesday RTP rides may
be interested in the return of the Aston Hill Climbing Society ride that
will start up beginning in October.  I posted it for Wednesdays in
October but forgot to add that it won't take place on October 5th since
that's the night of the Iron Hill get together.  I'll see if Dan Dillon
will be available that night since he may not be going to Iron Hill.
Anyway, it's a really fun way to get in shape.  We do hill repeaters--we
ride to a hill and keep climbing it over and over until we've had enough
and then move on to another one.  A couple of them are real doozies.
Afterwards we go to Rita's for a treat.  Everyone is welcome, even Juror
#6!
Debbie

	Hey,
	
	I was there too (red Allez and red Specialized jersey). 
	
	I got to experience the "Old Gradyville" for the first time. I
know few people mentioned it on here in the past. In my short riding
time I've tackled bigger hills than that and more of them but this "Old
Gradyville" was a pain to climb, I must have been out of juice,
nevertheless it was a great ride with all the guys. As it got darker the
ride became a bit more challenging, I just couldn't see any cracks,
holes or debris on the road that well. Oh and props to John on the old
Fuji! The man can ride! 
	
	Few guys asked about the light I had on my bike; it is on sale
right now at Performance in Paoli for $14. It is called the ViewPoint
Flare 5 LED Headlight and comes with batteries. It is not the best but
did its job well on Wed evening. Highly recommend it. 
	
	Looking forward to next Wed ride!
	
	Jake

myself.

interesting to

and mike (sorry
		mike, i forgot your last name).   last year i would have
known most

		we had a spirited ride out to cheney and back, but it
was dark by the
		time we hit RCSP.  i'm glad i heeded debbie's advice and
mounted my lights.
		
		one of the guys on the ride was named john, didn't catch
his last name, 
		and he was a character.   rode an old fuji, with a heavy
knapsack
		hanging lop-sidedly off his back, with a broken spoke
which made his
		rear wheel wobble, but he was hammering along with the
rest of the group
		in his high-top white socks.   maybe we should call him
"high-top john".
		  or maybe not....     he rode to the ride from clifton
heights... good
		thing he had lights too.
		
		if i'm not traveling again next week, i hope to make the
last RTP 
		wednesday night ride again, otherwise, see you all next
year!
