Riding With The Wolves…
So, I’ve talked about cycling with a good friend of mine, Brian Sain (pictured on right with cheesy grin). He rides with the NC State Wolfpack Cycling team. I’ve also had the pleasure of spinning off some tough miles with Will & Hannah, also members of the “Pack”.
Well, I finally got the chance to head out with many more “Pack” cyclists.
About 13 of us hit the road this weekend. The 70 mile ride that was… well… let’s just say it was where ever we wanted it to go.
But that’s what made it interesting. Walker, the cyclist who organized the ride had us going through many areas… flat, winding, hilly, narrow, wide. At one point, 5 of us went all the way down to the boat ramp at Lake Wheeler and raced out of the parking lot and up a steep hill. There were a lot of “man up” sprints… there were a lot of “town limit sign” sprints. Let’s just say I got a fast twitch muscle workout! Thanks guys… I look forward to the next ride.

I have to say that I would have been a little nervous heading out with the ‘WolfPack’ team. I think I would have stopped at the bottom of the boat ramp at the lake and gone for a swim, while the others raced back to the top.
Sounds like you had a great ride, I’m sure this is just the first of many this season.
