We started with the CCC president as ride leader. At the freeway, the front group split off and took the hill if doom, I think on Northgate westbound from Rochelle. The pseudo leader (from slot 2-right) is one of the faster riders who often goes with the intermediates. I haven't picked up her name yet, but she had been testing out her aerobars from the back until she realized the front group didn't know where to go. :) At another light, I ended up in front and launched... Oops. it was fun for me, but I got to the stop sign on the other side of the bridge and I think everyone was in WTF mode. The last part of the ride was a hard push for the end. There were 3 in front of me, and 3 behind. In the final push, there is a 2" gap about 50-100 feet long on Kinwest between Royal and Regent, eastbound, between the left 2 lanes. One of the front guys changed lanes into the gap, wedged, and planted. He was okay, but his front rim is out of true now. I need to call Irving about that, and about the large array of cracks along Lake Carolyn between O'Connor and California Crossing. Also, after adding the HR sensor, and swapping the crank magnet for my cadence sensor, my Edge 500 would pause and unpause throughout the ride. I ultimately had to turn off autopause because of this. I need to look further into that as well. Lastly, I see a baro drift in this ride (high pressure system coming in). I need to dig up survey info and set some GPS waypoints along this route to help keep things accurate.
