The Ride: Nice change of routine this morning joining a fine group of friends on a ride from Creekview High going out on what we intended to be the marked Rose Pedal Metric route, but the marking are almost gone and we took a wrong turn somewhere. Still a great day out with friends and with cooler weather with cloudy skies made the ride even better.

Training wise I felt like today was a good test of the legs on repetitive rollers just to see if they had the ability to respond quickly. Most of my training time has been with steady cadence and steady power output so it was good to see that my legs can still respond to those short punch efforts.

I really enjoyed riding with this gang. We had some conversation moments and some times where we had noses down and pushing pedals. At one time I came close to getting hit by a truck that insisted on passing us as we were in the process of turning left. Praise the Lord for watching out for me.
