Yesterday's Ride

The weather was nice so I wanted to get outside and ride my bicycle. One of my team mates met me at my house and then we went and met up with OBC. OBC was it's typical smaller Monday night group, but I was surprised to see Brian (team mate) riding with the group.
When Ryan and I met up with the group and started to climb the first hill off of Hwy O (Grafton-Newburg Route) the group hammered up the hill and I said to Ryan that I am not worried, but if Brian gets to the front, he could pick up the pace and make it difficult to get back on. Well, Brian went to the front and had a huge gap on the field, so Ryan got on my wheel and I bridged that gap and the three of us had a huge gap on the field. We kept a hard tempo going for a while and then we stopped in Newburg to let it re-group. Then we did some more tempo work and then we headed back once we got to Hwy O again. I had 2 hours in the saddle and 40 miles in, that makes for a good weekday ride. I did more pulling than sitting in, so I could get a good workout in. I was very chilled (cold) by the time I got back home, and took my body a good hour to warm up. Well that is it for now.
