The Ride: Seven of us headed out from the brewery at 7:30 this morning looking forward to repeating the same route we did this past Monday as created by Derek. The route has to be one of my top favorites now and from what I could tell from the other guys it was for them as well. Over the course of 60 miles there are plenty of near flat roads for good fast pace lines, combined with some short challenging rollers and Boyd Mountain Road, which is a short climb that will get your attention. Steve and Pat were with us until we were close to Trimble Hollow and then split off to head back. On Trimble Hollow we were chasing Gary and Tim on the downhill portions and thankfully not long after we made our store stop in Adairsville.
The best stretch of road on this route, in my opinion, is on Wayside Road. It is a great area for a strong pace line and fast speeds. Each of us took a turn on this stretch and with Gary and Mike on the front with their turns we hit 30 mph on the flat sections. Tim was also up there turning up the heat and I got in my turn as well.
Unlike the Monday ride we opted not to stop in Kingston. While on our way back on Hwy. 293, Tim split from us and the remaining four of us were now on our way back to the brewery. With Gary riding strong this year he made sure our pace did not drop too much. Once we were back on Busch Drive, Mike did his Spartacus impression pulling us up to the mid 20's and we even hit 30 at one point during his strong pull.
A very good day out on the bike. My legs and conditioning feel as if they are starting to make a comeback so I was very pleased on how I felt and performed on this ride today with a bunch of strong cyclists on a challenging course.

As a side note: I missed training most of this week doing indoor intervals. I went up to Kentucky on Tuesday, attended my grandmother's funeral on Wednesday and returned on Thursday. It was a blessing to spend time with my family.
