Last night I rode with my club and several of my race team members showed up as well. I pushed extra hard, standing and sprinting to bridge gaps and doing everything I could to stay in the mix. For the last 5 miles to our 1st regroup area I was pulling a really tall man on a new Trek Madone 5.2; he struggled to stay on my wheel so I didn't yell at him to take a pull. Turns out that he's new to the area and had to follow me to know where to go. Two weeks ago I'd have let him pull me.

The rest of the ride was into the wind and I did a lot of standing and chasing when I found myself falling off a wheel. I ended up with 30.1 miles, avg. 18.1 mph, avg. cadence 91. No pics because I haven't perfected the skill of picture-taking at 27 mph.
