12/31/10

The Sunday worlds. I rode out alone today because E was sick, 2 hours into a cold head wind ugggghhhh. The wind went right threw me and the legs were thick. I was running behind schedule and the group was gone when I got S&S so I had to double time it down rt10. I caught up with them at Cheshire High and rolled the rest of the way to the Giant at the back. The ride started out nice nothing to hard, the wind had something to do with I'm sure. When we got by the ski slope things started to pick up. I was sitting at the front but it didn't seem to bad so I drifted back to see how Robyn was doing. That's when the shit hit the fan. Gaps were opening all over the place. I was in no position to do anything so I sat in and waited. The move was made and I was looking around and noticed that Big John and me were the only ones left who could still make the bridge. I made the big push with Johnny in tow. I got us 90% of the way across, pulled off and Johnny rolled though. Hippy Chris and Miguel were on his wheel. I got in behind Miguel when I noticed that Chris let a gap open. The wind was coming left to right so I went up the right but for some reason Miguel stuffed me in the snow. Thanks dude!!!!! Now I was fucked, I just sat in and waited to see what would happen. When we turned onto the hill the front group was gone. When I say gone I mean gone. I knew that there would be one more shot going across and I had to play it just right. Down the hill I went hard and kept going all the way up the next one and just got on terms before the next decent. Todd was the only one to make it with me, I looked at him and was like that fuckin hurt, he agreed. I sent myself into the plaid zone and was boxed for the rest of the ride. I got in the line though and worked just to teach myself a lesson. Rt 10 my legs were cooked, Robyn and I were going to ride to S&S with Mike and the boys. We were on the back rodes riding back and I noticed that Robyn wasn't with us! I asked a few guys if they had seen her and got no reply so I turned around thinking that she went to the car at the Giant. I didn't want to ride home so I hammered back so as not to miss her. When I got there she wasn't there. I jumped in the car and went looking for her, she had gone up rt10 instead of turning on the back roads. It all worked out we went to have coffee and with the boys that's always fun. Everyone gets something light to eat expect Crowell of course he got a double iced lemon cake (shocking). I will say this, I was cooked after the ride today.
