Weekday Rides?

[Catrin]

I finally joined my shop ride tonight and had a great 17 miles - there were over 200 riders and 5 different groups of differing speeds and distances - I was in the "fun and fitness" group - which is the shortest and we spread out across the route. It was fun though the wind was a bi*ch on the way back! My neck did fine, even in the wind, so I think it is good to go!

Oh yes, even with the wind my final average speed was 13.46 - and I do think this is a personal best outside of the very protected park that I ride in so often With my very upright riding position, I would like to eventually get it up to 14.5 but I don't think it is realistic to get it much higher than that, though we will see.

Tomorrow I plan to test my riding commute route and be downtown in time to watch the festivities before the start of the Indianapolis 500 Mini-Marathon, but that will be something for the weekend rides thread.

Red - glad you didn't melt
