Today is Thursday June 18, 2026 and last night i did the Johnny's Ride.
i suffered big time but with the help of some timely stop signs and stop lights i was able to finish with the main group.
There was a 2 minute stretch where i dug deeeeep. The outside world melted away and all i saw was the wheel in front of me. It was a true Zen moment. Later on in the ride, as the fatigue mounted, i debated sitting up but managed to stay positive and push thru that rough patch.
Fitness is improving but by the end of the ride i was toast so when everyone ramped it up for the finishing sprint i hugged the gutter and cruised in with what i assume was an exhausted smile on my face.
Great ride.
Plus i felt noticeably more comfortable on the road bike and in the pack.
Great night.
i have to skip this ride the next two weeks so perhaps i'll try the Jerrys Bait Shop ride this Monday.
Bicycles!
