ThNR Report

Shaun, James, Jonny, Steven and Franklin met to ride on what felt like a colder night than it was.  James showed off his new fender, and we hit the road.  We were met by Curt, and paced by Jonny, who blew us all away with his solo effort.  We regrouped at the hill which was perfect for riding up and then headed back to the clubhouse.  Johnny claimed victory with a mad sprint to the finish and was awarded the most aggressive rider jersey, the overall jersey, and the points jersey.  At the clubhouse, we were joined by Duker, Tom and David.  Minutes included: Jonny sneezed for the first time in weeks and wished he hadn’t, being the town weed inspector is one thing, bringing Cheezies to the weed inspector’s convention is another, Shaun has donated over $1000 to the ABES over the last 5 years, The Golden Loon is spicy delicious, the ABES quiz team is getting set to defend their “World’s Smartest Bike Club,” championship, and the Pearson Pennant would make a sweet wool jersey.

This Weekend is Actif Epica, with our very own Paul doing his bit to represent the ABEnthusiasts.   Will he emerge victorious in his battle with the wind and chill, or will our brave knight lose the glorious fight.  All I know is that in his heart our brave knight may safely keep these words:

“everything I have done, am doing, and shall do follows the dictates of reason and the laws of chivalry,” 
― Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Don Quixote

Godspeed Paul, and enjoy the poetry of a valiant effort, and the success of arriving that eluded Saavedra's hero.
