Heather- Thanks for telling me about the ride. I had fun, the group leaders were wonderful. I think I am not quite ready for primetime on the group riding. Our little pack of 7 was too much for me but I still am glad I came. I will likely come next week.

I felt like a total dope not being able to climb some basic hills. And then the unspectacular crash in front of about 10 guys at the top Powerline hill, well that was just embarrassing. And the bruises are just UGLY. Icing on the cake is 9/10 I do not have to put a foot down on that climb at all. Nothing broken, no confidence lost. I will be back out soon.

I was pretty fatigued and the group dynamics are something new. When we were strung out it was good, in a close pack it was a bit unnerving. After the winter I should be screaming along for RLAG!
