Recap: Bremen Gravel Grind

5 cyclists. 35.5 miles. 3800+ ft climbing. Temps in upper 20's to start riding to upper 30's with sun and blue skies. I tweaked my back while getting my bike ready for the ride so I gingerly rode the route hoping not to blow out my back. Only one spasm. I was outnumbered 4-1 by the red jackets and I didn't get the memo, but if I did I would have disregarded it anyway. My front derailleur was unhappy as was I. A little section of adventure in the middle. Fell into briar bush trying to turn around without jarring my back. Pulled briars from my entire left side. Plenty of dogs running out to say hi to our group, but no aggression. Saw a pony. We found a nice grassy spot for #lunchoutside #coffeeoutside
