First good long ride since I replaced my bike. The LBS organized it, there were slow people and it was no drop but a few of us hammered pretty hard between checkpoints. 3.25 hours riding, 4 total, 2400 kJ. My new drink mix worked great - just 2 bottles and 4 cliff gummys was enough.

Not sure if I was back up to speed yet, so I kept it under 90% ftp on the long climb. The ride leader was super strong and I was working my ass off to hang on his wheel on the rollers. He'd attack every roller and I was in his draft doing 500-600 watts. Felt bad but really good at the same time.
