2011 BTT Season Opener

The 2011 www.beatthetrain.com season started of with a great ride.  Turnout was strong (21 riders at rollout), the weather cooperated and the sunrise on the river was fantastic.  The island kicked my butt (6 miles flat out) John & I rode the tandem for the first time together on the BTT ride.  It sure goes faster downhill.  The breakfast in Mexican Town tasted especially yummy today.  The last 2 miles after breakfast are always the longest of the ride.  We did the 2010 default route today.  Below this post there a bunch of videos John took from the back of the tandem.  Great Ride today!  Great way to start the season!  Hope you join us next week.

It's that time of year again to post up your miles for the season.  Below is what I did this year, down from last year.  I'm planning to take better advantage of the opportunity to commute in the new year.  Happy New Year everyone!
