Feeling like a wimp because I rode with the "C" group this morning.
 
Argh...I'm a solid "B" rider, but I woke up a 2:30 and had trouble getting back to sleep...just felt listless and lethargic this morning, so instead of rolling with the B's I hung with the C's. Now I feel like I didn't get a good workout or push to my full potential because it was such an easy ride.

I suppose everyone has those kind of days, though....

I love the info to be learned on BF.

The arrogance. ..? Maybe not so much.

You are a wimp.

Sounds like you needed a recovery ride and got it. Good choice.

At least you got to get out and ride.

bianchi10 10-19-13 12:50 PM

Nah. You adjusted your ride according to how your body felt. Smart. I would wager that a lot of people wouldn't have gone at all OR would have still gone with group B. If you would have gone with the B group, I would imagine you would have been even more embarrassed since you would probably be the last one up each hill.

B group riders don't get bragging rights anyway. (Spoken as one)

BillyD 10-19-13 01:14 PM

What a ridiculous thing to complain about. Be glad you're alive and healthy, man!

+1 Go big or go home!

I pressure washed the porch, but I haven't gotten in a ride yet. You're one up on me.




Don't beat yourself up......... unless you take pictures.

It's amazing how a good night's sleep versus a night of insomnia will affect your physical abilities as you age. When I was in my younger years (I'm 56 now) I'd go on ski trips with my friends, and we'd party until the wee hours of the morning, get a few hours of sleep, ski hard all day and resume partying that night. I can't imagine doing that today. Same with cycling. If I toss and turn all night, I feel sluggish on the bike.

R1lee 10-19-13 03:39 PM

Holy cow, the world is ending. You rode with the C group? Damn... Insert sarcasm..

Kai Winters 10-19-13 04:02 PM

Any ride is a good ride...

Don't worry. Some A rider is complaining now he didn't feel good and had to do a "solid B" ride.

halfspeed 10-19-13 05:29 PM

Tough crowd.

surgeonstone 10-19-13 05:40 PM

Pathetic stupid irritating thread. Stop whining. Be glad you can ride at all.

badger1 10-19-13 07:44 PM

Don't worry; there's always another weekend in which to realize your "full potential".

rpenmanparker 10-19-13 07:53 PM

You've got it backwards. You don't feel like a wimp, because you rode with the Cs. You rode with the Cs, because you felt like a wimp. Don't reverse the cause and the effect.
