Today is Thursday July 16 2026 and yesterday i did the Johnny's group ride.
i got dropped but it was still pretty great.
I did feel very comfortable on the road bike and in the group, last week on this ride i actually led the group up the big hill, then got dropped, this week i pulled a bit prior to the big hill. So just the fact that i'm finding myself in the front and able to do a little (a very little!) work in the wind is a positive sign.
Although to be fair the group has been small for the past couple weeks so its kind of easy to find yourself in the front. But the simple truth is that when the ride gets hard i struggle. However i use to struggle before the ride got hard so i'm moving in the right direction.
Tonight i'm hoping to ride but if so it will be slow. After last nights ride i went immediately into mowing the yard and then immediately into walking the dog. So a great night for exercise and now i'm tired.
The not so little man gets home from his camp this Tuesday so i have 5 more days to squeeze as many bicycle hours in as possible.
