Finally outside

It's been a long time since I got to ride outside, excepting the commute, of course. Today was the opener of the TTC group rides, so I packed up bright and early for a ride. The weather was nice, if a bit cool and breezy. Most of the group was heading out for 60km, the same as me, so we had a nice pack that dwindled down as time went on. By the end, our group of 12 was a pack of 4. I kept my effort fairly light, only opening things up a couple of times to chase up to a group if I got a little bored. Nothing strenuous, just an awakener for the legs. It was good to get a feel for being on real roads on the tri-bike again. You can build lots of strength on the trainer, but being able to translate that to asphalt takes a little practice.

I should be all rested and flying on the start line tomorrow.

Bike: 130 minutes, ~60km

"Should be" flying, eh?

You broke 40, nailed first in your age group and 8th overall.

NICELY DONE!!!
