Sunday was another nice warm day in Paradise. I rode 50 miles with the Salem Bicycle Club. I took it easy for the most part, however, there was a few times that I did work hard. Joanne and I were east bound on HWY 22 when we saw a bicyclist pull out from a driveway in front of us. I could tell he was quick by the way he picked up speed. Not being able to help myself, I took off after him. He had 100 feet on me but I slowly reeled him in. I pulled up beside him which startled him. I apologized and took the lead taking the pace up to 23 miles per hour. He got on my wheel and I pulled him into Salem. It was fun!
