I Love Me Some Midweek Dirt
Finally motivated myself to do an after work ride today. Brought all my stuff and looked for a local group ride. Lucky me, I found a Wednesday night ride at Lake Chabot. Showed up, met a bunch of cool folks, and racked up another 11.2 miles plus 1421 feet for the week. The weather was great; the afternoon's high temps had cooled down quite a bit by ride time. I rode with the C group (glute is still a bit unhappy, boo), which was fun and chill, but a little slower than I'd hoped for. But then, it was mostly because someone in the group bonked hard on the first big hill. It happens. What to do next time? I'm thinking about starting with the B group. If it goes well, great, and if not, I could just wait for the C group to pick me up. In any case, WHOO DIRT!
Funny tidbit from the ride: We chanced upon the A group toward the end of the ride and stopped for a little on-the-trail chat. There was a round of introductions, followed by some joking about how people here didn't remember names and faces, only bikes. Someone in the back piped up, "Yeah, there was a girl here a few weeks ago. She had anodized nipples!" Bike puns rule.
