On the second Tuesday of our new Tuesday night adventures, Dominic and I wandered over to Freewheel for what was billed as a very fast small group ride. I showed up to Freewheel’s Mecca in Eden Prairie and asked if the ride was still on. There was cold snowy weather in the forecast and it had rained most of the morning. The sales person took me to the shop and said "Sam, are you still riding?" A man fully kitted up introduced himself as Sam Beveridge and told me he was ready to go as soon as I was. Apparently this was going to be a small ride. I threw my junk on, waited for Dominic and we rolled out right on time. Sam, Dominic, and me, not exactly what I expected, but I’d hold my judgment. After a few miles of riding I realized that Sam was no joke. He lopped along next to Dominic and myself no problem, rarely taking a break from the wind pains. We joked some and he gave Dominic crap for trying to rest. I’ve been on a few different rides now and this one was the sort that I enjoy. I wonder what it’s like when people show up?
