The ride last night was a lot of fun. My sincere thanks to the folks who put it together. It was great to meet some new people and enjoy a new (to me) part of town by bicycle.
I also learned an important lesson last night. I had to leave the ride a bit early to go spend some time with my wife since it was Valentines Day. I'm not familiar with the urban parts of Knoxville so I asked the group what the best way to get back to the SunSphere was. "Go down Gay St. to the second light, turn onto Clinch Ave. and it'll take you straight there." That sounds easy enough. Apparently not for someone as "directionally challenged" as I am. The lesson came when I turned the wrong way onto Clinch. I rode the wrong way down a one way street and ended at the bottom of a very steep hill. Oops.
I did make it back up the hill and got home safe. I think I need to get a compass mounted to my handlebars.
Pedal on,
Ryan Cooper
