Cool 54 degree weather greeted the riders for the last April ride.  The route chosen for the evening consisted of town roads south and east of County Highway W before it crosses the series of lakes just out of Phillips.  From this area the group crossed lucky Highway 13 and rode more town roads east of Phillips before eventually ending the ride on County Highway D.  I was on the long downhill on County K where the evening�s action unfolded.  It was here that Tom Harris unshipped his chain.  Jason Ruesch helped Tom catch back up to the group.  (For this Tom has pledged to give Jason a �Free Pull� card.) The group accelerated sharply on County D with Joe Coyle being the driving force.  At the sprint Joe was the winner on the night showing good early season form.  After the ride Tom Harris would set a new club precedent with the �Three Minute Rule�.  The Three Minute Rule states that when the last piece of pizza, or desert or glass of beer is known, if after three minutes no one has claimed that last item, a person may take the last serving without admonishment, fear of criticism, or guilt.
