Rose Hill Rally

On Sunday Chris, Blaine, Tim, & I met up at 6am, piled into the Brown's Cycles van, and went out to run support at the first rest station for the Rose Hill Rally. The rally is a 50k or 100k ride through the farms and fields from GJ to Mack to support St. Marys Hospital.



 After some tire pumping and derailieur tuning we closed up shop a tad late around 11ish.  Tim pulled the always popular "I want to ride but cant because ______ told me I had to do _____".  Overused but effective.  So Chris, Blaine, and I set off with grand goals of passing people like whoa.
 See that face?

The route took us out to 10 and Q roads, and despite dreams of seeking the elusive intersection of 1 and Z road, we followed the route and continued not passing people.  We eventually caught a couple who turned out to be frequenters of Browns and were having mechanicals so we joined up and road back to the park with them (and got broom wagon-ed along the way).

All in all it was a great day for riding with plenty of memories extensive tan lines had by all.
