I don't have the words to describe how great it felt to be back on my road bike today, feeling the cool lakeside air rush by me. The last time I rode Ribby was on BRAG, the 2nd week of June.

I rode two of the 5.5 mile laps around the airport and I felt great. I even managed to get in a couple of hard pulls at about 21mph for as long as I could hold it (not long). I tried to sprint the last 1/4 mile, but gave out before the end. I guess it was more of a leadout than a sprint .

I enjoyed the good company of my wife and a few club members. It was a great morning for a ride and I'm glad I was able to do it.
