Frank's Web page
The Mum ride. We all agreed to ride at a "reasonable" pace, but I knew that would eventually dissipate. We had some of the elite riders with us (they wanted a break from there 25mph rides), so we let them pull a lot. We mostly regrouped as people were shelled out the back, except for the last couple of miles where about 10 of us were lining up for the sprint and a few who just couldn't handle the modest 20mph pace for the distance. Once again Heck Hill proved to be decisive and we would have been away with 5 or 6 if we hadn't sat up. I attacked the hill and stayed in contact for about 3/4 of the way and then my legs just collapsed and I had to chase back on the downhill. Luckily they sat up.
I'm packing up the Bianchi today for it's trip to california, so will just do easy rides all week on the fixed and maybe a good blow on the TT bike just for laughs.
The season here in the midwest is starting to wind down. Riding is more mellow, teststerone levels are down. It's a great time of year. Oh yeah, we got wet yesterday. The remains of Hurricane Rita worked its way into Indiana and we got the overflow here in Ohio (it rained all night last night). HilMaster out.
