Went on a 20 mile group ride last night. Tried out a new group. I was specifically looking for something a little easier/slower than the other Wed group I've been attending. It was OK. Small group of 5. One person was quite a bit slower than the rest of us (partly due to equipment I would think).

I looped back to give her some company a few times.

It was 102 degrees at 6:15 when the ride started. It was 97 at the finish. I felt fine in the heat. I've been really focusing on hydrating on and off the bike. I also have started putting Nuun in one bottle for electrolyte replacement.

Overall it was a bit too easy to be a training ride for me. But the social aspect was nice.
