We did good today. Nine started. Dealt with cross winds for the large part of the ride. And the rollers...seems like that's all there was on this ride...rollers beyond rollers. Who plans these routes anyways?
Lots of clouds, but we were generating plenty of heat and really didn't need any help from the sun. No rain, although there was evidence that it had been around.
This was a pretty hard effort and I have to admit I was concentrating more on the technical parts of the ride, rather than the scenery. We got a rotating paceline in for a bit, but it wound up being a little rag-tag, so it was abandoned. Just tried to keep a steady pace taking the hills hard and resting on the descents. BK, Taylor, and Charles helped up front sharing the work load. Charles has that sprinters itch. He sees a green city limit sign and he's got to have it. Taylor's rear derailleur cable broke. He did 50 miles with only two gears. He was always in his 11, and only got to choose between his 53 or 38. He hung in there. I was also very impressed with Amy and Cam. These women are really tough. As Charles says, pound for pound they kick our asses every week. Never averaged over 20mph in March...I've come close. Today that ended. 78/20.2
Hell of a ride today, guys...hell of a ride.
