Ride Description:                                                            

Fantastic ride with the guys today. It was a good thing that I was feeling good because I needed every ounce of energy I could muster. Each of the guys had some really good pulls at the front and a few other brisk surges scattered here and there. The high wattage spikes were not flukes and not technical issues with the power meter. Those spikes were me trying to keep up each time one of the gang put out the power. Even though there were times I felt like I was just trying to survive, I have to say it was a really good day riding with these guys and I enjoyed every moment of it.

Weather is getting cooler and the new BBC Metric route was a nice change this year.
