For the past few weeks it seemed as though your legs
were the only part of your body not hurting. Now you
intentionally go out and make them hurt as well.
Just curious, is your wife a Dominatrix.

your legs look a little skinnier though....
edit: seriously though, dumb question, but are you able to ride in the drops?

Damn, I guess that's where the weight loss came from 
Yeah, I was able to ride in the drops. It wasn't a hammer ride so the only time I was in the drops was ona descent. There were three notable descents on the ride, for the first one I held back and lost contact with the group. At first I was on the hoods but went to the drops for stability. I had to do almost 500W for 1 minute to catch them when the descent was shallower... the second descent I had started a little ahead of most of the group and scrubbed off speed and was with the group at the bottom. The last I put in a big effort on the climb, started way ahead of most everyone and cruised down.
There was one other rider back with me on the first descent, he recently started riding "uprights" again after being on bents for 15 years due to back problems. He said it was taking some getting used to going down hills "head first".
