I'm with Ricky Bobby, I mean Logan. I had a work conflict last week and will miss this week because of an evening meeting, but I have so little time to ride these days, that when I do ride, I need to make it count. I don't think it has to be either/or on the "hammer ride" or the organization. I have really enjoyed the rides where we have been most cooperative, but I also like the rides with more attacking. Either way, I want to be completely wasted when we hit Hickory Grove. However we accomplish that is ok with me.
