The Ride: I was surprised that this Labor day there was virtually no email chatter leading up to Labor Day, but I did find out that Mike and Derek were riding from the brewery and were rolling out at 8 am. And so we did roll out early this morning with no pre-planned route and a chill to the air. Mike and I opted for arm warmers, but soon the sun was up and warming us. Our pace was calmer than the larger group ride and I was grateful that we kept a rather calm pace throughout the duration of the course.

 Derek took us out toward Barnsley Gardens going up Rock Fence and then another nice short climb on our return up CCC road. With the low humidity the weather was extremely nice. It was a day that we just wanted to stay out and not stop.

I had a couple days off from my cycling training and enjoyed my trip up to Kentucky to see my family and celebrate my mom's birthday. Today's ride was a really nice introduction back to the bike and a prelude to my normal training schedule tomorrow.
