#101: First rides
Last night was the first daylight weekend night ride for the year. I ended up just doing a standard loop out of Cordova of about 25 miles. The weather yesterday was fairly nice, but what made it remarkable was that it was a first ride of the Zipp 900 disc I bought back in January. At first I was riding out in the open down Cordova Park and Lenow Road so it was fairly faint, sounding like an airplane overhead….but by the time I got to the more closed in roads (Latting Road), the noise was unmistakable… the disc whoosh. I hadn’t planned on riding hard (I really didn’t anyway), but it was not recovery ride… That sound just encourages you on…
Coming back in through the neighborhoods Kingridge and Fletcher Trace, kids and adults were looking up at me as I rode past… This wheel definitely gets some attention… But maybe not in a good way… I think I will save it for TT’ing…

I did not wear my TT helmet, that would have been over the line…
