The Ride: Derek led us out on a another great route toward Adairsville and Kingston. The route went directly north to Trimble Hollow and crossed I-75 and then down to Adairsville. From there we climbed Boyd Mountain and worked our way toward Kingston with some great fast stretches of roadway. Although our average speed indicates a low overall we did have some very spirited sections and fast pace lines along with some hill sprints. My intentions were not hammer, but with me missing my threshold intervals this week, I decided to go ahead and join the spirited sessions and I felt pretty good that I was able to hang on for the most part. There were a few times the group backed off and I was very grateful because at those key moments I was about to fall off the back, but their timing to ease the pace really worked out for me. I am pretty happy about the day being able to finish with the group.
