Next week, my game plan is changing. I will stay with them as long as I can and do no work at all (one mistake on Saturday was I tried to shut down a break! ......... So next week I sit in, hang on and if I don't enjoy it, I will ride back down a grade for the rest of the summer series.

.......

So I'm off to spin gently to work, a nice hours ride as the sun rises... thats what its about. I love riding on empty roads.
The intensity of the emotion and the despair you felt just show how much your heart is in this sport, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Sounds like a great game plan.

Hope your gentle spin was as nice as it sounds.
