I couldn't get out of bed till the last minute. I finally got ready and started off on my bike then I realized I had parked in the wrong spot and would be ticketed unless I moved my car. Went back home got keys moved the car, then went to Ritual Roasters for coffee and called you guys since there was no way I could get over there anytime soon. I started the bayway with one other guy at 6:30. He had an important 9:30 meeting at Google so was in a bit of rush. He Immediately dropped on the first hill, Cortland st.. he was going twice as fast as I was up the hill. I rejoined, but he dropped me on the second hill and I could see how this was going to work.. not so much. When I caught up I told him to go ahead since I knew the route well and he couldn't be late. The rest of the ride I did as fast as I could. It took me 2:10 or so from Ritual Roasters to get to PDI. It was like the hardest ride ever, (not really, but you know).
There is a big difference between what my legs can handle now and what they could handle last year. I'm well on my way to coming back, but still have a very long way to go... Although I don't think I could have kept up with that guy even if I were in shape.
