I got a great spring ride in this evening. I'm working really hard on ironing out a major kink in my pedal stroke (I basically have no 'pull' in my upstroke, result of triathlon????) - and I finally got into a groove and felt fantastic. I was holding 20 mph on a gradual climb, best 5 mintues of riding I've ever had, and just as I get all high and mighty, 5 or 6 guys from Team Slipstream/Chipotle BLOW by me doing 26-28 mph, no problem. Funny how this sport puts you in your place.

It was a great great great ride, and I'm really sad it's supposed to snow on Saturday here. Ah well, the trade offs of living in Colorado I suppose, 65 degrees on March 19, 27 and snowing on March 22.
