Slow easy ride shot to heck
This was suppose to be a slow, easy, long ride. It was what was planned. Really. But they tested me. It was their fault. Not mine. They kept attacking me and going off the front giving me "the look." I can't sit back and let them do that. No. My pride got in the way. But I hurt. My legs were practically useless from intervals and hard riding this week. And no matter how hard they went I tried to stay with them. Twice I popped on some hard climbs. But I caught back up and kept digging. I was greatful when the 73 mile ride was over and we were sipping coffee and laughing. But, now. Now, my legs are jello. I get winded walking up stairs or playing with the dog. Those scumbags hurt me.
I loved it.
I loved it.

next time, rest up the day before the ride, then tell them you went hard yesterday and you're on your recovery ride. Then smash them when they try to hurt you.
