Group Ride

Today is Friday July 2025 and two days ago on Wednesday i did the group bike ride.

Lots of suffering was had.

i was late which means i had to chase a bit which means i was on the back foot most of the ride which means when they hit the big hill where the pace always seems to tick up a few notches i sat up almost immediately. It felt a little like that time i did the Cat 4 Lawrence, KS road bike circuit race and Micah G hammered at the front seemingly all day. i lined up in the back of what was a pretty technical course and i was accelerating out of corners and closing small gaps all day. ultimately i got dropped. So this was kind of like that, a little. Only back then i was in much much much better shape. Honestly that race is a big what if. i was fit but lining up at the back had me working seemingly twice as hard just to keep up.

Actually, i don't think Wednesdays group ride was very similar to that Lawrence, KS circuit race. i think i just wanted to talk about it.

i make the rules here.

Glory days!

Anyway...

So i got dropped at the group ride, no worries, i still rode hard for about 38 minutes so that counts as something.

It might be time to tweak my weekly workout routine. More pedaling, more core, less weights.

Maybe next week i'll see if i can do this ride on fresher legs.

Goals!
