By: C. Kent, aka (Superman) Here it is almost the end of September and the last ride of the month. It was supposed to be cool or at least not as warm as it was last week so I put on some arm and knee warmers and headed for the door to start towards Burger King and coffee. Dura Max and Surgeon were already there and by the time I came out with coffee Highlander and Tax Man arrived. Bloodhound pulled up just before Quicksilver and MacGyver and that was about it as we got ready to head down Gilmore and headed for Acacia.

It wasn’t as cool as I expected and by the time we got to the stop light I had to take my arm warmers off. My legs were still fine and I only had knee warmers on so I was guessing they would be good for much of the ride. We more or less cruised to Cypress and headed west to Johnston only to catch the red once more. As soon as we were free to go we headed south towards Mustang.

As we got out to Domenigoni and headed east and it seems as if somewhere along the line we picked up Shadow. I got a wild hair and pulled around Bloodhound and that just may have picked up the pace too fast as some riders got dropped so I dropped back and pulled them over to State. We then headed for McSweeney and then back to State. I made a run at the state Street mile but I may have shut down early believing the speed sign was the end of the segment. We made our way back to Stetson and headed east to Fairview. No one seemed interested in going through the old homes so we went straight to Fairview and headed north. I happened to acquit myself y well on the “Not the Fairview Mile” and continued on to Ramona with a hard run at the Fire station segment. I followed Bloodhound, MacGyver and Surgeon to the turn on Main and once more we regrouped. As we headed west on Soboba it turned into a drag race. I had enough soup to catch the leaders but in the end I didn’t have enough to get past Bloodhound and Shadow. Still I got to the end and regrouped with everyone before we headed south on state.

Surgeon went home on Ramona while the rest of us headed back east towards Main again. Quicksilver, Highlander, Tax Man and I got caught at a light and ended up riding well behind MacGyver and Shadow.

By the time we had worked our way to Carl’s MacGyver had to leave so we were down to six riders and that is what we headed for home with when we made our way back to Lincoln.

Bloodhound was still wound tighter than a cheap watch and Highlander started to follow him west. But soon he just let him and the rest of us took our time getting to Park where Dura Max headed for home. We zipped over to Devonshire and headed for San Jacinto before making our way back to Burger King. After a short visit at Burger King Shadow and I made our way back to my house where Shadow left for home and I went for a shower and lunch. I got in almost 42 miles so it wasn’t a bad day.
