8 pax for early 5AM EC with speeds getting faster literally by the week @ 23+ on a couple long segments.  The early group is REALLY gettin’ after it recently.

YHC and Fireball joined @6AM start time, and 4 dropped off before the 6AM Q, which was assigned to YHC by Pincher. Country Club loop was chosen as the route, S on Lorraine into Country Club on Masters. CCW on loop around to Balmoral Woods start point and GO!

Ripken and Cottontail dropped off after one loop to head home.  YHC, Fireball, Cupid and Pincher completed 2 full loops @4.75 miles each and 21+ mph average on both.  (YHC goal for PR on this segment @ >22 mph “soon”.)

YHC loves the help of the Blazing Saddles group for the pulls!  Just an awesome way to start a Tuesday!
