Decided to drop in on the Fiesta Island "Worlds" ride, despite being tired and having a rainy forecast. I was tired and groggy all day from training hard (3rd "on" week), having to get up early for work, and having a few to drink with the lady last night. But when I got out there I just felt super good on the bike, funny how that happens some times.

By the numbers:
27.2 mph for the 53 min duration, small field of 15 or 16 that split in half about 35 min in. I made the front. 282w avg, NP a fair bit higher (haven't checked).

By feel:
Like I said, just awesome. I reckon I did more work on the front than all but 2 riders, one of whom is a local cat 1 superstar on KHS-Maxxis p/b Jakroo, David Santos. He gave me a high 5 after the last lap and asked me what my name was, so I figure that means I had a good ride too .

I got rained on during the ~25 minute spin back home, but it was totally worth it, just grinning the whole time and feeling great.
