The Ride:
The focus of this ride was to ride with a group and maintain a pace. I rode with L and C and along the way we picked up K. We focused on pacelining and the pace was great. For me, I was personally trying to keep a solid pace - not going in bursts as I have in the past. This proved harder than I thought - there were times i wanted to go faster, and times I wanted to go slower. There was a hill at the end I almost didn't make it up - but thank goodness C was there to provide some encouraging words.
We did have one minor accident along the ride, there was a quick stop/slowdown from the paceline and we had a rider fall to the curb and on to the sidewalk. This is a possibility when riding in a paceline and that's why it's so important to communicate.
Also - my bike started ghost shifting at times - I'll have to have that looked at this week. Looking forward to Thursday as I hope to make the Thursday night ride!
