Ride Description:

The usual solo out and back. I got to see Neal and Mike for a moment at Sosebee. I thought the day would be a challenge for me since I struggled all week in training. I felt an overall fatigue and higher heart rate and was in at least a 5-week negative TSB so it makes sense that I was feeling fatigue and needed some rest. 

I had one cyclist pass me about mile 21 and I got on his wheel until about mile 24 I was not able to hang with him anymore. At 6 miles out he came by me again and I saw him again at the Bud Plant parking lot. His name is Tim and he finished a strong 100 mile ride today solo. I know when I was trying to hold his wheel he had a steady strong pace.
