Ride Description:                                                            

I saw Keith at the brewery at 7:30 this morning and ended up riding with him on the marked BBC Metric route. Since I have not seen Keith in a long time we spent the first miles catching up with how life and cycling is going. At some point the talk seized and the pace picked up. We kept a steady pace with no coasting and I tried not to draft unless we were on busy roads. When we were on Cash Road, which can get busy, a black and white sheriff's car passed us slowly and kind of move on slowly in front of us. We eventually were back on a less traveled country road when I looked over and saw the front end of the police cruiser coming up slowly on my left. I thought, "Oh crap what have we done." I looked over and the deputy had the passenger side window down and said, "Come on guys you can do better than that. Pick up the pace!!" He grinned and waved. I smiled and waved as he move on. Pretty cool to have one of the authorities show us some kindness.

We continued on with each of us taking a good bit of time at the front, but even when Keith was pulling I was having to work. At about mile 50 Keith had a cramp so from that point forward we kept a lighter intensity. Keith asked me to go on, but I was not in any hurry. Plus I had a really good week training intervals, will hopefully be out tomorrow and we racked up 200 TSS today so that was enough.
