Yeah, I know. It used to freak me out, now I'm like 'well, isn't that interesting, not what I would have predicted'.
I did get an email from Steady Steve, he's ridden that route three times. He thought he was pretty strong yesterday and is in better shape than he has been in the past when he has ridden it. But he was 30 min slower in his moving time than his previous PB. I think the wind might have been more of a factor than either of us realized. Its the only thing I can think of that would have affected us both.
And, lol, I was out on a recovery ride this morning and who should I run into but Steady Steve and his wife. This is the third time that I've been training for something with some married male friend, off for full weekend days on some very long course, for weeks on end, only to have his wife renew her previously waned interest in cycling.
