I did the 7 am shop ride. I haven't really ridden with anyone since my old riding buddy injured her knee. She's been off the bike for 2 years now,so it's been that long. There were 6 of us today, 3 men, 3 women. Great group including 2 of my favorite people in the world (my wrenches), an easy 16 mph pace, 30 miles exactly, on mostly flat country roads. It was a nice social ride. We talked while we rode, and no one got dropped, flatted, or fell. It was nice to not be concerned with going fast. It was nice to have company. I liked it a lot.
The only problem was the 7 am start. That meant I had to get up at 5. Well, I did it, and survived, so we'll see if I can keep it up.
