Big Chill Ride

Today we rode in the Big Chill Ride, one of the official MS-150 training rides. It was cold - about 40 degrees at the start - but it was dry, and our cold weather gear worked fairly well. We rode the short ride (about 22 miles) , since we are still not in great shape, and did not want to push too much in our first training outing on the tandem.

This ride began in Katy, and the short route went to Brookshire and back, so it was very flat. There was some wind, but it was not terrible. We finished in about an hour and a half, and felt good about the ride.

The Big Chill Ride was conducted by the Brazos Valley Subbury School, and we were very impressed by how well organized the ride was. Very clear route marking, efficient packet pickup, and great chili at the finish.
