For this Winter Series Training ride, we joined the group from Macon on their winter ride. This was not going to be a good day as I soon found out. I was on the way to the ride when I remembered that I had forgotten my water bottles at the house. I had to turn around & get them. This simple lack of being prepared would cost me later in the day. I was running behind, but hoped I would have a chance to warm up just a bit before everyone left. I was just about finished getting ready when the entire group took off. I latched on to the back of the group, but we were already doing 20+ at the start of the ride. My legs were certainly feeling the effects of no warm up at all. I wasn't able to stay with the group for long. I had a map & just rode at my own pace & tried to get my legs to warm up. At one intersection I ran into Manuel & asked him which way the group went. He told me he wasn't sure & he was trying to figure out which way to go. I had a map of the general route, but it was hard trying to read the exact roads to ride. We kind of found some of the roads & made our way back to the start point. Even though I wasn't able to hang with everyone, it still wasn't a bad ride. Here is the data for the ride:
