Holy COWS!!!! What a ride.
Observation. Every year at this time, few days before the Tour de France the pace picks up but this is off the chart. Maybe everyone really wants to be in the big ride.

Jon said he wanted a 23+ ride today. Well, as the racers pulled out of OSB Nick set the pace at well....FAST!!! DC, Dan, Turbo Dan and Jon just trying to hold on. The racers figured out very early in the ride that at this pace we would need to do shorter pulls then normal. Everyone had very strong pulls and seemed to be on their game today. I was very thankful we had 5 riders so I could have plenty of drafting time. Everyone stayed together until I decided it would be a good idea to pull out of the group about half way down Thompson Chapel and sprint for the stop sign at 30+. Turbo Dan having non of this puts the hammer down and passes me....yea passes me and I'm already doing 30+...ugh! it was all I could do to grab on to his wheel. Back in the pits the group reorganizes to let our tires cool off a little. 23.1 avg for 23miles oh yea and it was raining for the last half of the ride.... ________________________________ From: James Lamm <[email protected]> To: CyclistsOfWilson COWs <[email protected]> Cc: Bruce and Tricia <[email protected]> Sent: Tue, June 28, 2011 2:55:20 PM Subject: [COWs] Upcoming bike ride Saturday, September 24, 2011 Please save September 24th, 2011 for a 100K and 50K bike ride here in Wilson.
