Yeah, whenever I WOULD remember to drink, I would be too scared to reach down and grab my bottle. I need to work on this. I'm used to riding alone.

The group rides I've been getting into are training rides for the MS150 (the one in Hammond). I've now done a few unorganized group rides and a few of the official organized MS150 training rides (that's what sunday was...and is also why there were people who didn't know each other riding together).

And then I've been meeting people who say "come ride with me and my buddy" and I do.

I live by the lakefront, but I'm not strong enough to do those Giro rides or anything just yet.
