Today our numbers increased 100% from last week and the air was crisp with very little wind. With Hawcycle bringing his hybrid with blue lights on the back wheel (the ones on the front weren’t working), I was dazzled by the light display and thoughts of Close Encounters of the Third Kind or maybe what Ezekiel wrote about in his first chapter. Anyway…it looked cool…on his bike.
YHC and the Pax circled around our Virtual Flag, did a count off, Namerama and then a COT. YHC shared some thoughts from Psalm 90:12 – So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom. As we get older and move into the second half of our lives, there is a tendency to get tired and drift. Prayers were for strength and perseverance as we live noble and honorable lives for our Creator.
After the COT, we headed west toward Kenner and after a short warmup past the Causeway bridge, everyone took two (2) turns pulling the group for 1 minute intervals and then we stopped at the Treasure Chest Casino where Da Parish and Hawgcycle turned around and headed back. We averaged 18.5 mph with a max of 21 I think. After we said our goodbyes, Torq and I headed to the end then headed back. As we turned around and headed back east, the strong Northeast wind slowed us down considerably and the pleasantries ceased. It was a beast all the way back.
