Today we had a good group, Bill, Darrel, Janelle, Albert, Bob, Rich (rode from his house), Larry, Ralph, Mark, Julio & I. We stayed together pretty good going over but split into about 3 groups on the way back. The wind was pretty strong and I being pretty wide in body it really took a toll on me. My Garmin started acting up again so I don't know if my mileage is correct but I will go with what it says. I am going to do away with the cadence and speed sensor and just go with the satellite, I think that will work better. I got dropped on the return trip so I took a chance that some of the group would stop at Mulligan's for the Thursday meatloaf special, it was a good choice, I stopped at the 7-11 across the street to refill my water bottles and Rich rolled in just as I was leaving, Bob and Mark arrived shortly after that. As we were leaving Mulligan's I gave my tire the pinch test and sure enough it was flat, so I found me a nice place in the shade with a table and chair and put in a new tube to get me home. Perhaps that head wind wasn't the only thing slowing me down. Yes I will run with that. garmin says 40.2 miles.
