Ride Description:                                                            
A little bit chilled when I first started, but it did not take long to get warmed up. There were very few people on the path today with the cold breeze. Too bad my legs were pretty cooked from yesterday's eighty miles otherwise it would have been a good day to test the legs.

On the way back I saw a guy on my wheel and when he had the opportunity he came around fairly aggressive so I jumped on his wheel. He held a very solid pace for a couple of miles and once he eased up a little I went around. I took the pace up a notch and when I pulled off it turned out that there were actually two guys working together. The second guy went hard and his friend could not respond so I came around in a sprint and caught him quick. From there he really put on a fast pace and held it, but then I took the front again and amped up the pace to the end.

Those two guys put on a hot pace and it turned my somewhat easy going ride into a fun little ending for the weekend. Kudos to those two guys who both gave me a nod of the head and positive comment as we parted ways. Fun stuff!
