This was the Shane Train of Pain, minus Shane. Brian, Jose, Leo, Nickie, and a couple other fast riders were present. I was still recovering from the 600k of the weekend. The STP started at mile 5.9 with the earlier miles being my ride to the start. The actual action of STP happened from mile 5.9 to 29.4 when I continued south on Cotton to get home and the others stopped at Fry's. In that section we did 22.8 miles done in 1 hour 6 min. for 20.7 mph average. At mile 18.4 I needed a break so fell off the back only to catch back up at the light a half-mile later. We had been reaching speeds in excess of 24 mph with Jose pulling! Then I stayed with them the rest of the time! This was the first time that has happened! YAHOO. From mile 25.7 - 28.7 we did that in 7 minutes 15 sec, or 24.8 mph! Awesome. That included the climb on the overpass over Loop 303 and the rollers and past the turn south toward Frys. Part of me wanted to try to move to the front on that last section to Frys, but I stayed in the pace line. Thank you Jose for the long pulls and we will see you later in the year!
