If I could get a Ferrari and travel back in time to find the guy who coined the phrase “no pain, no gain”, I’d apply a strip of duct tape across his mouth and double slap him (pop-pop) for thinking about saying it.

The ride today was another day full of laughter to keep from crying.  The group was about 20 deep with a variety of skill.  It was another date with Texas Plume & the wall.  The 1st 1/2 of the ride was cool as folks behaved even though the warm-up did get up to about 24-25 mph.

The roll up the 1st climb begins the work of testing legs and of course 3-4 guys jumped out with a group of about 6 chasing them down.  That was the last I saw of the main group….this is what it looks like to get dropped:

No worries right, it’s only a training ride!  Well at least I had a very nice average on the roll back to Joe Pool Lake.
