First for real ride in two months. Did about 3 hours with some of the team and others. Weather could not have been any better. I was hurting at times (out of shape) and the saddle seemed worse (need to toughen up) but I can't complain.
Only one downside. 3/4 of the way through the ride Beckmann managed to throw his chain as he was getting ready to sprint after Troy. This was just dumb luck and it threw his balance completely off and he basically just fell over. Sarah C rolled over him and ate it as well almost rolling across the street into an oncoming car. I was ahead and looked back in time to see her almost get squashed and it was really messed up to watch. After everyone got up and was ok Sarah said when she went down she was most worried about having the borrowed bike she was riding go under that car. Luckily aside from a bit of road rash no body was hurt and hopefully this gets our annual stupid training ride crash out of the way.
Still I feel amazing. Got back, took a shower, now it's time to hit up Kroger for some lunch and dinner fixings.
To everyone racing this weekend... good luck. See you later.
