Today's ride was somewhere between Endurance and Moderate Tempo (the climbs and when against the headwind). What a great day! Moved up on my own from peloton to peloton, as they were a bit slow for my preferred pace. Joined a fast group of about 10 riders after the 2nd waterpoint (at the top of a long, steep climb). They was a guy up front doing all the work in the headwind - I went up to relieve him, but their pace was a bit slow for me - and by then the group split with 4 guys breaking away completely out of sight. I lead a peloton to catch them, but my descending was too fast for them (and maybe a bit too scary!). Eventually it was just the 4 race snakes and me for the last 65 km's or so, with me doing my fair share up front. Nice guys. One of the 4 guys got a tear in his rear €65 race tire with about 7 km to go - he let some air out and we took it easy so he didn't have a blowout or wreck his rear rim. Even though they told me to go ahead, it didn't seem right to leave them behind after riding with them... Super warm day (my Garmin read 27° when we started at 8 a.m.), but absolutely glorious!
