For the next few weeks we are going to focus on the Coastal loop route on Saturdays. We will have a Marshfield ride towards the end of May. We will split the Marshfield group into 2 sections. We had a good turnout for last Saturday. New and strong rider Ian lead the the pack with Justin. Kim was also crushing those hills; the training in Arizona pays off.
We had a small group ride the 30 mile course on Sunday for steady pace workout averaging 17.
NWS is predicting the following: “chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 60. Light southwest wind becoming south 5 to 9 mph in the morning. Chance of precipitation is 40%.

Power Pedals
Some of us have the Garmin Power Pedals of different editions. They keep releasing new versions which promise to fix the bugs. The battery issue – they recommend to use 2 cells, when one larger cell can be used instead – is probably one of the bizarre things about the Garmin Power Pedals. Probably, the worse thing was them using plastic threads with their metal screw in caps on many power pedals. This renders them unreliable.
One member has the Favero pedals in Look. The New Favero in SPD are available, now. DC Rainmaker reviewed them. Check it out at https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2025/06/favero-assioma-pro-rs-spd-sl-power-meter-pedals-review.html
