I got an hour of extra sleep and meet the group at Woodside Glens. I didn't want to do 40+ miles this morning or ride Alpine Rd. anyway. It's gotten too busy so riding side-by-side isn't really pleasant and it makes chatting difficult. As soon as I warmed up, it was already shorts and short sleeves weather. Basically it was the perfect temperature just after sunrise. We timed it pretty perfectly meeting at Woodside Glens at almost the same time. The poppies were still sleeping and I was saying to Zoe that it would've been perfect if there were poppies and puppies. The rest of the group took the road but I did some road bikes offroad and when I crested the hill with the fields ahead of me, there was a dog that was eager to see me but the owner stopped it. I mentioned to them how I was just saying how nice it would be to enjoy poppies and puppies. They said their dog would have been more than happy to lick me. 😂 On the way to Bici, Natalie wound it up for the final sprint, which I had planned to sprint anyway but decided to follow her leadout. I probably stayed on her wheel a little too long but I was able to sprint all the way to the top which I was too tired to do last time with Kira. We met Kira at Bici and then I rode with her on the way back. Only Casper was out and apparently it was already too hot (in the shade) for him to get up off the porch to see us. 🙃 Tried a new flavor of Skratch this morning - Strawberry Lemonade. I used one of their single serving packets and I guess maybe there wasn’t enough because it didn’t really taste like much and I wasn’t loving the slight hint of flavor. I’ve always hated drinks like Hint or Vitamin Water. I want full flavor or no flavor in the water. Give me lemonade or plain water but not lemon water. Gross. 🤮
