Ride report

[Archaea]

I am slow and not getting faster. After 74 miles with lots of hills and a guy I've never seen before beating my butt up the hills, I come away knowing I must either suffer tremendously in the next several months or that I will suck.

We lazy it until the first major hill, so I piddle it up when a rocket shoots by me and I'm in my big ring having no time to react. So I plod ahead when two more come up so I react and spank them, but down the hill I'm not able to shake the rocket. How discouraging. Next major hill, same result.
