About the social bicycling group for Saturdays- (for whoever likes to know all the details (family mostly)):::
A group of people, none that I am too familiar with, meet each Saturday at a restaurant of their choice for breakfast, drink mimosas, and then go on a 10-20 mile bike ride while hyped up on caffeine (optional). This ride is always posted on Facebook, (which is one reason why I can’t seem to get rid of my Facebook account, all the rides are organized there with invites, etc)

The Saturday ride is probably my favorite ride, because I get to spend my entire morning and afternoon cycling. I ride from my apartment to the starting point, which adds about 20 miles total to the ride after it is all said and done.
It always ends up being such a good day, because it includes swimming and exploring, and not having to be anywhere at a certain time.
There are struggles, which include trying to drink a bottle of water every hour, reapplying sunscreen as often as possible (sounds easy but it's not and if you screw up you can be a zombie and/or extremely dehydrated and grumpy). Chugging Redbull is a certainty.
At the end of the day I am usually pretty tired and/or tipsy (I like grabbing beers on the way here and there) and ready to jump in my pool at home.
A couple of times, I have been exhausted until the following Wednesday. Now that fall is starting, I am just now to the point where my Saturday all-day rides
do not take the life out of me (riding at night time after work Mon-Fri is nothing like riding during the daytime, especially in 100+ degree weather!!). Next summer I'll be prepared. And smarter, etc. This is my first year of doing stuff like this...learning curve.
Totally worth it!!!
