27 miles on a club ride in NE suburbs. After hammering on a hill-climbing ride yesterday, I resolved to hang back and not try to keep up with the fast group. As it turned out, pretty much everybody else was also feeling like taking it easy (heat index was 99, after all) and so I ended up in the front group, which just wasn't going particularly fast. Ride was mostly fairly laid back, with just a couple of fast sections. I got caught sleeping on one of them and had to bridge at ~26 MPH for about a mile to close the gap. I guess that's not taking it easy. Well, the rest of the ride was lower key than that.
