Group Ride

Today is Thursday August 7 2025 and last night i did the Wednesday Group Ride.

It was my best performance yet but i still got dropped less than halfway in.

i consulted some friends and they confirmed that this group ride is indeed a fast group ride. So that makes me feel a little better. Yesterday was my 6th time doing this ride going back to June 26th and after that initial attempt i though i'd improve quickly but that hasn't been the case. i have improved but i'm still getting destroyed each week. 

But that's ok. 

This week Kevin gave me the nice tip of going to the front prior to the climb that always gets me, good advice but i was hesitant so i probably started 2/3 of the way back. We had a big group this week, maybe over 20. After getting dropped i found a guy to ride with, Rick, and we rode at a steady tempo pretty much the rest of the way, i think i did pretty much the full route, with Rick, for the first time.  

i'd like to keep doing this ride through September but after that our household will be fully into school mode (the little man is starting 5th grade on Monday) so taking off each Wednesday evening gets harder. 

If that works out i have 7 more opportunities to do the ride, maybe just maybe i can stay with the group all the way to the end on one of those rides. But thats a big maybe.

Bicycles!

Also, i saw a Lamborghini on my ride home.
