As the crank turns… tales of life on the rims

Group Ride 081208

Another group ride is done. Fast. I held on for a long time and was actually climbing really well (for me).

Then I popped. I was so demoralized thinking - Hey I'm going to make it this time....

Then I fired up the Garmin and saw I just set a record for myself on the course. Everyone else just got faster.

I hate pulling into the parking lot within a minute or 2 of the leading group - meaning we were close, but that difference adds up to 1-3mph. Pretty big gap.

Oh well, I never said I was good at this stuff.

  1. We stopped for a latte at one point hoping you’d catch up. After the second round, it was decided we should finish the ride before it got too dark.

    :P

    Yeah, it was a zesty pace out there.

    Don’t burn all your matches before the second rest stop of the DLD! And have fun out there.

  2. From my saddle, you’re pretty damn good.

  3. i love a good latte after a hard ride.

    i also ejnoy the self loathing that being a roadie entitles said roadie too. later.
