Wanted a road ride for a good workout. Dave told me the local shop ride was 20+ average now. I showed up at 7:45 sharp and waited with three riders to see if anyone else was going to show. After ten minutes, we called it. We road the same route I road with these guys a year and a half ago. It's a nice route through the Lexington countryside. Traffic was not bad, but then again I'm use to commuting in rush hour downtown Lexington traffic. I could tell early on that this ride was more of a friendly ride than a hammer fest. The paceline never got organized. Riders were taking long pulls. Still, it was nice to break up riding at Harbison so much the last few weeks. I was a little rude and road off the front on Windmill for a bit. I needed the climbing work to be harder. Sorry about that guys :)
Stats:
18.6 Average
43 miles
164 HR average (without 20 mins of stop time it was more like 170 HR)
2170 Cal including the stops

You...Rude??? Never!!!
I was even more rude after two riders dropped off and it was myself and another guy who was holding 16. As soon as we got to town I started holding 25... I had stuff to do and a family function to attend. Since the "group" had already broken up I and I did not know the guy, I figured that while a bit rude it would be forgotten quickly.
