The mind said let's ride and the body said no way.
Yeah. I was really trying but it just wasn't there. I felt especially bad about it because I overheard the woman who rode with us say to LoP "I was a little worried I'd have trouble keeping up with whoever was here today but now that I see you're riding a tandem..." That always irritates me because we could seriously leave people in the dust going downhill and even on a day like Saturday we're decent going uphill. Whenever I hear people say that it makes me want to leave them in our wake, not look back and not even wave goodbye. That's probably not the best behavior when leading a group ride though.
Were you okay after that?
