Big Dog ride to Grand Isle

We did a nice 18 mile ride with the Big Dogs in Grand Isle. What a great night for a ride. After all my work on the rad bike over the past few weeks it is starting to pay off. I was able to lead the Big Dogs much of the way. I flet strong and was able to push up the hills and inclines without any problems.
Clyde hosted and everyone (except me) went for a swim in the lake post-ride. A few nicly cooked burgers on the grill then we just relaxed in front of the fireplace sipping beers. The wind was blowing right towards me but washed the warm air from the fireplace all over me without any smoke. I was in absolute heaven. Clude gave us a tour of his house and his small flotilla of kayaks etc.
