Departed at 4:30 am; left early to accommodate first Sunday. Rode with Tume, no Jamal but we tried to keep an aggressive pace on the EB route home in his memory. First really warm Sunday morning of the season. It was 70 degrees at the start of the ride. Rode into a SW wind heading outbound to Palos. We split up at Archer & 104th to ride our own pace through the hills. We passed each other several times as I did the hills 3 times. I notched a couple of PR's in the hills. By the third pass through the hills I felt it. We met at the 7 Eleven for gatorade before heading home. We had a tailwind on the way home which helped to push our pace. I arrived back in the hood around 9:30 am so I took a cruise down the lakefront to 39th Street
