Huge turnout for this ride. Rode with Luke and Bob. Some things never change, like playing catchup after downhills and Luke waiting at the tops of the climbs...but some things do, like riding all of the hills I had to walk last year. Very fun to be out riding with the guys, but halfway through I wasn't feeling another lap. I'm going to have to get into a mindset of sticking with things, but maybe I'll leave that for February. In the end, I'm pretty happy we didn't ride another lap bc it probably would've been dark by the time we finished.

Event: The MLK4 Ride at the Berry-Man Trail
 

Luke's data since my Garmin ate the Saturday info.

Great MLK weekend ride. Huge turnout but we left after everybody else. Shocker. Luke, Bob, Robby, Chuck, Jim, my cousin Bob, Amanda, Dave, Scott, Kevin, Jody, and Doug. Couldn't quite keep up with the group in the front - those BOR boys like to push the pace - so I was solidly in the middle most of the time. Trail got too soft so at the BT/OT split we took the OT cutoff and then jumped onto some forest roads back to the gravel. So fun. I really want to go back on a good trail condition day and ride the whole loop. My fitness isn't stellar right now but hill climbing and general confidence have definitely improved.

D2 Prone jackknife 6x3 - only thing that hurt my hands

Supposed to be a gentler interval session, so I kept the fast minutes in the high 8's and the rest in the high 10's. That was plenty for tonight.
