So I found the weekly group ride with the local fast guys last night. A coworker was like "yeah come along, you'll do great!". Conveniently, he's one of those fast guys who has lots of sponsors and notoriety due to his MTB racing success the last few years
I got droppppppppped hardcore after about 5 miles, found another group of droppees who I was more matched with on pace and we still hauled some mail. It was a blast. I'll likely do it most weeks so I can use it as my one "high intensity" ride of the week and suffer through an hour and a half of blowing up my HR. Plus it's only 2 miles from my new house so that really helps.
The group was huge and cool to chat with. Turns out there's more than a few current and former pros that show up from time to time. What a riot!
29 miles in 1:20... luckily it was fairly flat compared to everything else around here, but it was a still a suffer fest.
