Today is Thursday October 2 2025 and last night i did the group bike ride.
It was my last one of the year and probably my best performance.
i still got dropped, twice, but i held on longer then ever.
The pace set by the group probably had more to do with my hanging on longer than my improved fitness, although my fitness is definitely improving. There were maybe 10 of us and the pace stayed pretty consistent. Not like last week when seemingly every two minutes somebody went to the front and started sprinting. Also it got dark, and while i've been riding my bike for a while now i have not done many fast group rides thru relatively dark suburbs. That was a fun component. i've dont a ton of riding at night but its usually thru midtown and downtown and there's a lot more light down there.
So the ride was a blast. i've really enjoyed the fresh challenge of trying to ride competently in a fast group and i'm hoping that next year i can find time to do more of these.
Now its time to ride my Mountain Bike because the Little Sugar Mountain Bike Race is 11 days away.
Bicycles!
