Group Ride

Today was the usual group ride. I got home from work, changed clothes, and headed out. I met everyone on the road. Chip told me there were quite a few women in the group and they were going to do the "C" route and take it easy. I told him that was fine with me. My legs were a bit sore after yesterdays ride & core workout. We were heading down Lakeview, when one of the ladies seemed to be feeling a bit froggy. I caught up to her and just rode behind her for a bit. We hit Houser's Mill Rd, & I asked if she wanted to wait for the others. She said that this was going to be her last ride for a couple of weeks and wanted to have a good ride. I led her up the hills and Tommy caught up to us. We waited for a bit at the intersection of the 247 connector and 49. She headed ahead on her own. When the others met up with us, I headed out and Tommy was right behind me. When we hit 49, I saw her ahead & was determined to catch her. It took me longer than I wanted it to, but I ended up catching her & we rode in together until Tharpe Rd. Tommy & her headed back to The Bike Store and I headed home to do my core workout and my stretching. My legs actually felt pretty good up the climbs, considering they felt sore all day long. I'll probably have to ride the trainer the next couple of days, the forecast calls for rain. All in all it was a good ride.
