I rode today! It wasn't all that impressive - Tyler & Sheree hung back on their tandem with me after being dropped from the all-star lineup of George's riders in the first five miles of 22 ridden with the group today. They did more than hang back with me; they let me draft them for pretty much the entire ride from that point.
And boy did I overdress! It was predicted to be rainy today (but near 40 degrees, hence my decision to ride) so I wore my rain gear atop what was probably too much clothing for a dry 40-degree day. So I was too hot. What was more, my rain gear isn't bike-specific so it doesn't fit even close to correctly for biking. Sleeves too short, back too short, front too flappy, pants too short & too flappy . . . couple that with my old Raleigh and BOY did I feel like a noob next to all the people rolling up on carbon fiber libido machines.
Anyway it was an enjoyable ride capped off with a visit to Big City Coffee in Boise's Linen District. I have a headache so that's enough for tonight. Happy New Year everyone.
