Introduction
This is a combo back blast from this morning inaugural biking q. There were two options; option 1 started at 5:15 & end at 6, option 2 started at 6:15 & ended at 8 am. There was a total of 9 PAX that took part in the very first ride for F3 Naperville.
Warm-O-Rama
I (Wet Wipe) am not quite sure how the warm-up went for the 5:15 option because I was a fart sack sleeping through my alarm. Thank God, Dr. Ralph called me as he was heading over to the Outpost. Paula Deen & Dr. Ralph led the charge warmed the boys up as I raced around my house swearing trying to get ready.
The warm-up for ride two was very simple get on your bike & start pedaling.
The Thang
Ride 1
Paula Deen and Dr. Ralph led the crew from the Outpost to the Complex through paved trails. I (Wet Wipe) took off from my house & rode like my ass was on fire & joined the ride at the Complex. We turned around & rode together back to the Outpost hoping to join Toady & his crew for CoT. It took us a little longer than expected so we had our own Name o Rama. (1st Ride- Paula Deen, Dr. Ralph, Wet Wipe, Flush, Belichick, & Dehydrated Onions) Approximately 10 miles
Ride 2
This ride went as planned having all three of the PAX that planned the inaugural ride present from the start. Paula Deen as expected led the way ripping through the streets of southern Naperville. We again headed out toward the Complex, but this time we continued on to Whalen Lake. Once we arrived we broken into an Indian ride around the lake with each of the 6 PAX taking the lead at various times. After circling the lake a few times we headed back toward the Outpost. We arrived at the Outpost a little early so we pressed on for some bridge work before we joined the crew led by Bozo for Mary & CoT. (2nd Ride- Paula Deen, Dr. Ralph, Wet Wipe, Catheter, Giggles, & Onions) Approximately 20 miles
Circle of Trust
Bozo led the CoT with a biblical verse & he ended in prayer.

At the end of the day it was a success. I was pretty upset with myself for not setting my alarm correctly & fart sacking on the ride. I however said hell no, I got myself ready & sent the message that I will be joining the party at the Complex. The accountability this group has brought to me can not be measured. If this were to happen to me a few years back I would have rolled over & went back to bed. The example & the accountability we bring to this group is what makes us great & allows us to accelerate.
Special shout out to Shandy for believing in this endeavor & making it happen.
Cheers
