Saturday's ride on the MoPac

Temperature: 55F
Mileage: 22.4

The weather looked GREAT for a ride on Saturday! Our group met at 2pm at the 84th St. Trailhead and we met up with other cyclists in Walton at 2:15pm. We should have been in Eagle about 3pm, but about 3 or 4 miles out of Walton we ran into a huge mud-hole. The first riders didn't know it was that bad until they were right in the middle of it. The trailing riders in the group stopped in time to carry their bike through the worst of it. Anyway, we reached Eagle about 3:20pm and joined Jim at the One-Eyed Dog Saloon. After a few drinks and watching the end of the Class A State Boys Basketball Tournament, we headed on back to Lincoln, this time on the shoulder of US34.

One huge mud-hole would have been fine. It was the couple of miles of almost mud that got me. The ground was so soft I could never stop peddling and could not go any faster than about 8 MPH.
