Ride Description:
If this first group ride of the year would be any indication for the remaining cycling days of the year then 2013 is going to be an excellent year because today was fantastic sharing the roads with this group of friends.
We opted for a later start because of the temperatures and we hoped it would warm up to at least the mid 30's F. It still seemed a bit cool as we rolled out at 10 this morning, but I was also excited to be riding with a group of friends and this route is also pretty sweet. I usually like flat roads with a time trial type of steady pace and this route is anything but that. It is a variable terrain route that has some flatter sections, rolling hills and one short steep climb.
The pace was supposed to be an easy going conversation winter paced type of ride and it was for the most part. We all finished together and at time we were a little spread apart, but it was a pretty low stress type of day to just enjoy getting back into the groove for a new cycling season. Even with the easier pace I still managed to rack up 266 TSS with a lot of punchy burst over some of the larger rolling hills and going up Boyd Mountain Road.
Training aside, today was about hanging out with cycling friends to kick off 2013. I was very glad to ride and chat with each during the time on the road.
