Stuck on the Porch

We'll be stuck on the porch this week as there is way too much going on and several of us will be out of town on the weekend. We'll be back at it on the 20th at 6:30pm at Zorinsky.

Good Luck to all of you riding in RAGBRI this year, have fun. Maybe the DOGS will be involved next year.

Taco Ride Thursday

Just a reminder we'll be out on the Taco Ride on this coming Thursday. We'll be at the trail head at 6:15, see you there.

Three NEW DOGS - Welcome

We welcomed a Pit Bull, a Bull Dog and a Grey Hound to the club tonight.

We had a fun filled ride tonight with a nice pack of DOGS at Zorinsky tonight. Steve (Grey Hound) Stang, Sabra (Bull Dog) Mackey and little Olivia (Pit Bull) Mackey all took their initiation tonight. Of course the Big Dog forgot his camera, so picture to come next time.

The Pack is growing, let the fun begin...

Taco Ride and Saturday Morning

Another successful ride on the Waubash tonight, Alpha, Boomer and Omega had a nice time, some good food, met some interesting people, had a couple of beers and got a little exercise, what more could yo ask for???

We are riding Saturday morning leaving the north end of the Keystone Trail at Democracy Park just south of 87th and Fort around 8:30AM, hope to see you there..

HOT, HOT, HOT...

WOW, it was a hot one last night at Zorinsky. We put off the ride until 7:30 so it could cool down a bit, it made it a whole degree cooler than it would have been had we started normal time. With all the heat the trail was a little less busy and that was nice. We'll be riding again on Thursday for the TACO Ride and either Saturday or Sunday morning this weekend.

Hope to see you there...

Monday Night Zorinsky Ride

Omega and Alpha made the ride and we made it into a workout which was good, it was a little windy which made it more of a challenge. 30 minutes and 40 seconds was the best I could do on our second lap, I am sure I kept OMEGA back a bit, you see he glides through the wind a little better than the Big Dog. (not to mention he's in much better shape) BUT we did work up a lather. We'll at least that gives me something to shoot for next time. No WIND is probably a 3 or 4 minute freebie.

The trail was a little crowded too, several walkers and riders with not much knowledge on how to keep yourself safe on the trail, oh well, thats why we try and go elsewhere on whe weekends cause its MORE crowded then.

WITH ALL that being said this trail is the perfect trail for someone just starting out and maybe not into doing a long or quick ride. If you havent been there its basically 2 big loops, kind of like a figure 8. Each loop is somewhere around 3.75 miles or so, you can easily do any combination you like and any distance you like.

We'll be riding again on Thursday for the world famous TACO RIDE....

Saturday Morning Marathon - WELCOME TIM

The Saturday Morning Marathon was a good ride and the weather was nice. Eric, Tim Taylor and myself set off headed south (with the wind) and made pretty good time with one break at St Mary's. Democracy to Culvers and back was 26.7 miles according to my computer but the trip back felt like 20 due to the wind out of the north. Actually on the Keystone south of Q Street you are kind of exposed to the wind and elements, once we got back north of L street the ride was a bit easier. We DID get a workout and best of all we initiated ONE MORE WILD DOG....

Welcome TIM TAYLOR to the WILD DOGS, we just need to figure out his nickname now...
