Got out a little late for a ride with the regular group....timed it just right by parking at the bell towers - meeting them as they crossed over to GM/WW.
This was our first time this season bringing out the lights...as we seem to be getting back to the parking around 9pm.
Usual fun, crazy fast ride...even up at a higher intensity with superfast Alan being out. On the final climb out of Glen Major...racing up the hill in the dark (with lights), I was dropped (yeah it felt harsh) by Geoff & Alan --- I mean these guys opened a gap on the uphill of 100m in seconds - wow. Unfortunately Alan took a nasty endo in one of those trenches that had opened up from the rain, hopefully only some bruised ribs.
I'm off to Detroit for my bro's wedding this weekend (YeeeHaw! George you are finally doing it! Congratulations!), will do a hard ride Monday night.
Best of luck to Johnny B. doing a 24 solo this weekend.

Tuesday night road ride
Got out with Martin for a good 80k ride last night...first time in a month since I have been on the road bike, ride to Zephyr & back, perfect August late afternoon/evening
Details....
Was also back at Joyride on Monday. Tonight run, or easy ride.

Yeah!
Back in the saddle!
Thursday night went well, fun, fast ride, however taking 8 days off and consuming mostly beer & frenchfries didn't do my endurance any good. Was thoroughly trashed by Geoff on the final climb (Geoff if you are reading, this is my motivation to get fit again).
Was out on Sunday with Mark, where Mr. John Connors & Carmen Sweet toured us through the Ganny for a 30k+-. They are both really strong..John especially after a couple weeks in France leading a couple of "shadow tours" of the tour de France with his Alpine Cycling company.
Now two days after our ride in the Ganny, I am waiting to see if I will have the dreaded poison ivy rash.
Stats are here.... I am planning on going back in a couple weeks to do the full 60k loop

8 days
Yes, 8 days since I have been on the bike...and I think it has only been 2 times this month! Work, vacation...no excuse but it is what it is.
So tonight I will be back with the Thursday night group..it will be painful.
