Today I realized that the Wednesday night rides (tonight was Mountain Run Lake) do help me ride at a higher mph/effort than I normally do myself (so do "easy" rides with Brian the Sticky bike Guru). Today we rode 25 miles and while I conserved some energy by drafting in the beginning the group broke up and I rode by myself a good bit in the middle and worked hard at catching up the the lead group. It was great weather, bit windy but a good time. The hills were good too, more of them than I remember. Good times.
On the down side my right leg has two problems. My hip is bothering me from over-yogafying and my achilles just started giving me a sharp pain out of nowhere while I was walking around a work today (maybe from the run on Tues). I will try an easy ride Thurs night and see if it can handle it.
