Gyros, (Did everyone turn those clocks ahead?)
What a great way to start the cycling season! Even though we had a couple of mechanicals, and a coach (John?) who was a bit nervous about making the start of his soccer game everyone stayed together and shared the work. I think that I can speak for other riders when I say that riding near 4 hours was a concern since many of us have only been getting in 45 min rides on the trainer (although Jim had mentioned something about doing 3 hours on his trainer!). But, the group dynamics were great and it was a really nice, controlled ride. Tony laid out a great course, the weather could not have been better, and it was simply a good day on the bike. It was great to see Fernando again, who came to the front on Leesville to help as we were trying to catch the front group (who, at that point were just to far up the road). I thought that I would give it one more try and took the lead up that final climb. Suddenly, Tony, Fernando, and just about everyone else went by me and I was done. Gassed. Don rode at my slowing pace and offered some sympathetic words...thanks, Don! Anyway, great riding by Logan, Steve, and, I am not sure who else was in that lead group. I few more rides like this, and a few less pounds and our A group will be back in form!
