So, I *finally* have some time to post. Work has had me tied up (not literally though!) for the past week. :/

Bikeless, I still disagree. I'd have killed myself earlier if I wasn't with you. You rode at a nice steady pace which kept me from going to fast early and dying.

And you did a *ton* of pulling and IMO you did more than your fair share of pulling. I really enjoyed riding with you. Having someone to talk to always makes the ride more enjoyable.

I won't go into my specific ride report since it was similar to everyone else's... headwind, drizzle, more headwind, hills with headwinds, flats with headwinds, downhills with headwinds, oh and I think Trek mentioned headwinds... Other than the headwinds, however, the day was pretty beautiful for most of the ride. Much nicer than I was expecting... esp since I was all up in my rain gear.
