7 of us: Mark, Terry, Bill, Dan, Curt & Paul. I was cold and was the only guy with a windbreaker jacket. The pace was higher than last Friday so I was really pushing hard to keep up. I forced the group to make a first stop at the bike shop on the Santa Cruz trail south. I had to pee, blow my nose and generally catch my breath. Friday's ride was good so I was surprised by today's set back.
-The road up to Starr Pass Resort was really crummy but the resort was beautiful. On the way down Starr Pass we turned onto Greasewood so we could have a good road to ride on.
-I stayed with the group all the way back to Ina west of Oracle. I decided to leave the group who was headed for longer miles to the west and I turned north for a coke stop at 1st & Oracle. Once I turned north and left Oracle I slowed down. I was doing about 17 mph and 150 watts NP up until then and it was too much for now, until I get my strengh back after this flu fiasco.
