it was nice to get on the road bike tonight. it hasnt happened in a while since raam but once I was on the bike...it seemed all to familiar. I was getting comfy with the mt bike...which is good as the geometry is a bit different and cheq is right around the corner.
like neil said, no rain and i was fully expecting rain. it looked like we rode right in the midst of two super-cells with some sun even. i was so used to riding in raam with the expectation of maintaining a lead or chasing down some team - day/night. it was nice to get out without the pressure to perform at some level but push it when i wanted to or when others took off. we ended up doing a series of wind-sprints here and there. we all joined in the sprints and practiced a bit of bridging...eventually the group split for a while here and there but we all finished together just fine. rumor has it that there is a four person team time trial coming up in wisconsin - perfect time to lay down some efforts prior to cooling down prior to the ride.
the cannondale did a good job tonight but i do miss the full carbon bike - there is a difference but the cannondale will never leave me - it is a trusted friend. great to see friends tonight and to spend time with erik afterward was a treat...talk and laughs...food and drink...relax and rest...it was a great night with all the things that make a day great!
