Well, after a long hiatus, DH and I did the shop ride with our LBS.
It was spitting rain as we drove to the shop, and skies were looking threatening. But, no rain fell at all during the ride, so that was good.
Mike - the shop owner - lead the "C" ride, but you'd never know it from the pace. He kept it up the whole way, had us doing a paceline on Clara Barton (two of the guys were just all over the place, making me really nervous and one woman just opted to hang on the back and not go up the line. Always a challenge....). I was really hoping to take it easy after yesterday's metric, but <<sigh>> that wasn't going to happen.
30 miles (and a new route for me - one of the guys said it's been changing weekly. OY!) at a record 17.6 mph average.
