Went out with Grp A today, telling myself I was only going to ride with them up to the Cotton Ln roundabout, as I am beginning my taper period for the CO 1200k in Jun 24. Lap 2 shows when we started from Santini, up until I let go of the A grp. They were a bit faster today than last time. I believe I could have stayed with them all the way to round about but I didn't want to work that hard. So a few of formed an A-, for a while until somewhere. Not sure. I know we were A- over Westar. Then somewhere out toward the trail head, I fell off and rode solor. Then was scooped up by the B group and rode with them out to Estrella Pkwy turnaround, and on around the rest. Fun time. I had to use bathroom at McDs so soft-pedaled it after McDs to top of Cotton where I sat and scarfed down my McD breakfast burrito as the group came flying by. So jumped on. Then out to Verrado where I was sitting on the back, watching Brian D figuring he would go with the break. THen when I noticed the break happened and was away but Brian D did not react, So there I rode, at the back, comfortable. Did some extra miles after Safeway, but the plan was to head up to WT with Josh & Lisa, but Josh was not at Safeway yet as he fell back to help a friend. I went to the bathroom and when I got out, the last of group was just leaving Safeway. I noticed this group seemed smaller and I did not see Lisa in the group. It appears, that Lisa and a couple others headed out a little earlier. By the time I realized this it was too late to catch them. So did my own extra miles.
