(Mike and Me chillin')
Group: Gary, Mike, Joe, Mike, Rod, Ron, Peter and me
Goal: My goal was to enjoy the winter group ride with friends and get in some training time
The Ride: I moved to Atlanta in the late 1980's and earlier in the week is the worst winter storm I think I have seen since living here. Maybe not the deepest snow, but this winter storm created havoc in the City of Atlanta for a number of days. To the point no one could imagine being out cycling today, but a few of us rolled the dice and hoped the roads in Bartow County would be somewhat clear. We came up fortunate that the county did a great job clearing the road and because of that we were able to slip in a 55 mile ride.
For whatever reason I was not feeling that spring in my step today. Maybe it was the consecutive days of training indoors or a bad night of sleep last night, but I just did not have the zeal in me and seemed to be lagging even though I was able to stay with the winter group pace. However, I am very grateful to have been out riding with these seven guys and I may not be able to count it as a great training day it was certainly a great recreational cycling day.
