Did the shop ride. They were going at a veerrrryyy leisurely pace, so my friend and I decided to try the B-ride, rather than doing the C-ride. That basically meant going left, and up Massachusetts Ave - a looong hill - where the 2 rides traditionally split. I'm not much of a hill climber, but she's slower than me. And...she's got bad knees. But we both gave in to peer pressure. Well, she paid the price for it. She got shucked off the back pretty quickly, and I waited for her. So, we basically did the rest of the ride alone. But, the climb did in her ITB, so she said she'd be spending the rest of the day icing and massaging (thank you, DivingBiker...I passed on your "Massage Stick on the Cheap" to several other achy riders today...all of whom planned to go right home and dig out the rolling pin!).
34 miles, which...in 2 days of riding this weekend...gives me nearly my total riding for the entire month of December (84 vs. 88)!
