What! No one has posted a ride yet??

In my century training plan, today called for 44 miles. So I decided it was a good day to ride to my LBS. I wanted some cleats for a pair of shoes I bought off ebay last year, some sport beans and to see what was on sale.

After riding sleeveless and in shorts during the week, it was back to layers today. After about 15 miles, I was startled by an "on your left" Some guys from the club out that way. They had a re-group just ahead, so I stopped and chatted. I had ridden with one of them before. When they headed out I drafted for a bit, at their invitation, but I told them not to worry about dropping me, which eventually happened. Damn hills.

At the LBS, I bought what I wanted plus a nice PI LS jersey, 40% off.

On the ride back, had a flat. totally my fault, I knew these tires were shot. Black Beauty gets re-shod tonight or tomorrow, as I have some nice new contis, which I have been procrastinating about.

49.50 Miles. Would have ridden around for 50, but really needed to hit the head.
