Yay Beth! That must mean you're feeling a lot better! Congratulations!

I did the lbs ride last minute, which was pretty stupid on my part. Nothing to drink but water, and after the ride when I got dressed for work, I discovered I forgot my sandals. Luckily I had shoes at work, because my bike shoes looked kind of orthopedic with my dress, but with the discomfort factor of cleats.

Without time to get my fast bike ready, I rode my steel bike. It was really wet and gross out. I made the mistake of drafting but that ended quickly after a delicious mouthful of salty crunchy puddle splash. Without being able to draft, on that bike, I really struggled to keep up for the rest of the ride, and got dropped a bunch of times. And this was the slow group. I need to remember not to ride the steel bike on group rides, unless suffering is desirable.

It was still fun.
