Today was Phogey Ride, #657. The base ride was about 30 miles, but since I road my bike to/from the official starting point and because I added a few additional miles at the end, I was able to stretch this ride into my first metric century of the year.
The weather conditions were a bit cool and, as always, we headed off into the wind. Of course that meant we had a dandy push back into the home stretch.
The Old Phogeys
Since this is my first post concerning The Old Phogeys I should provide some context.
This Old Phogeys Ride is a weekly ride that has been running continuously for 657 weeks. — And counting. The ride consists primarily of retirees and, occasionally, some wannabes. It’s a good group of folks that make riding fun. I started riding as a Phogey back in 2015 following my retirement.
BTW: Most of the Phogeys do know how to spell. But, legend has it, that the keyboard for the original and self-appointed Phogey-scribe’s computer was missing the “F” key so he had to improvise and use “Ph” instead.
