Haven't seen a well played "Htfu" in a while. And you KNOW it'll be on your sign when you come to Austin, right?

I was forced to Htfu today on my ride...I ended meeting a guy about 4 miles into my ride and rode with him until my turnaround point at 20 miles. Problem was, he had a few more watts in his tank so I was riding pretty hard...then I had to ride back. After turning around I had a moment when I looked at my mileage, did the calculation and said "crap...14 more miles". To Htfu I just focused on technique, pushed the pedals harder on the hills and geared down when my breathing became labored.
