Ride Description:

Out and back and spin with Mark. We rolled out of the Budweiser Plant just before 7 am. For almost all the ride it was like we were riding solo. Mark remained about 10 to 15 car length back from me to make sure he got in his training for IM Chattanooga. 

Just past the 60 miles, Mark turned off to get in another 40 while I continue on the route. I am sure glad I did not go for the 100 miles today. My legs were shot just doing the 80. Time to rest up with hope the weather allows training tomorrow.
