TAB Monday Night Group Ride

This was my first group ride. Jimmie met me in the driveway and we met Mark at the park adjacent to General Ice Cream.

There were quite a few riders and I was happy to stay at the back of the pack and observe the mechanics of group riding. Mark and Jimmie hammered down on Monclova Rd and I reminded myself that I was here to observe and learn even though I could have rode faster although what I take away most from this experience was how easy the ride was and how much faster I was biking.

Ergo, it was this thing called a "draft" that I had heard so much of during this past four months' madness.

It was a pretty cool thing!

MXS: 24.5.

Weather Conditions: 1800 hours. Easterly wind at 10.4 mph and partly cloudy.   Min: 66 Max: 68 ºF
