Noon ride with a colleague Vikas. After I got knee pain, my noon ride has changed. Instead of riding solo with pedalling as hard as possible, I slowed down a bit and tried to enjoy riding with people. So far I rode with Evan with road bike and Vikas with MTB.

We made white board titled "group exercise schedule" in our office and made noon ride exposed to people walking by. That is actually working. Two other cyclists looked the board and showed interest so far. I hope they can join the ride soon.

So Monday's ride is "Casual ride". We ride on Stevens Creek Trail at no more than 10mph average. Even biginner on MTB and all types of bike can comfortablly participate with this speed. Unlike other rides, we don't have to change outfit or take shower after the ride since we don't sweat!

I discovered that pedaling slow like this is still a lot of fun and I can get huge refreshed feeling after each ride. So speed doesn't matter at all I would say.
