Woo hoo, I finally did my first group ride and had a great time! We have two groups rides in Kelowna - the "A" group and the "B" group. We were planning to join the "A" group last Sunday but I wasn't feeling 100% so DH went off without me. It was a good thing I wasn't there because he had to work very hard to keep up and was always at the back of the pack. I would have been dropped like a hot potato. So - today we both joined the "B" and it was a great, yet challenging, ride. We were able to stay in the middle to front of the pack most of the time and it was still a good hard ride with lots of climbing. I even passed some men climbing It was sunny, and warm, 13-18 C (60-70 F?). 39 miles ride - 15.5 mph avg speed, 2400' of climbing. Yeah baby!
