Hope you feel better Veronica!
I went to the 28 mile LBS group ride last night despite the threatening weather. I missed last week cause I thought it was going to storm and then nothing happened and I was determined not to let that be the case again. And it worked! There were puddles and wind but no rain.
There were 5 guys that showed up too so we made a decent group even though the A rider ended up dropping the rest of us about 1/2 way.
At one point, one of the guys who was looking out for me, told me to break off from the front when the kid in front of me did so I wouldnt be left to pull up a hill. However, I like to earn the respect of the guys and do some time in front cause I know how they feel about another gal that they call the wheel sucker. So I did a pull for maybe a mile and pulled off before I got too tired. (Later, the guys told me that I dropped themNot sure about that)
It took me a while to recover (friend guy waited for me a little) over some steeper hills and but by the last 5 miles I was back pulling us back to the others.
It was the fastest group ride for me since my accident and I felt pretty good overall. I feel like I really need the challenge here and there because riding with BF is sometimes tedious. I sit behind him (not on his wheel) for the main reason that if I go out in front I am going to drop him sooner rather than later.



Not sure about that)
