I did a very hilly group ride this evening and it was great because I was actually almost able to keep up. The main group rested a couple times and I just kept going because I knew they'd catch up to me again...and they did. I really think I could keep up if I could drop about 15 pounds. But I don't seem to be losing any weight so far this season, which really stinks.

One funny/gross thing on the ride...one guy's shorts were SO worn and thin that I could see his entire bare bottom and (sorry in advance) his butt crack clear as day. I was amused but I also realized that I didn't really want to be seeing this. Then I thought, OMG, I sure hope the shorts I'm wearing aren't worn out like that!
