The Old Systeme E Boys, and a Pie

I kept telling Roger and Mark years ago when we were sweating on our Systeme E training rides that the passing moto riders looked like they were going about it a lot easier than us. Both of them are still spending much more time on bicycles than me. And they both have motorcycles finally.

We decided today to take a quick ride up to Randolph, and find a spot somewhere to have a pie. The Leonard hills that used to kick our butts on the bicycles seemed a bit less ominous today. The Cattleman’s Cafe in Blue Ridge worked out for the pie thing.

Elke enjoyed the breath of fresh air, and she was the perfect ride for today’s journey with my friends that I have spent countless hours with on much much lighter bikes.
