Largest group of the year with 43 riders to start. It was great seeing Mark Hayes at the start and riding with him was just like old times. David took the reigns of leadership today and did a good job with the reroutes and the number of folks on this ride. He padded the route up front to make up for cutting out Parker but after a few Crazy Ivans, I had no idea where we were. Pulled sweeper duty since I was fielding calls from work and hung back early with one rider who was hurting. Mark dropped back with us and we eased him along Ridgeview. We happened upon B2 working a flat and Mark jumped right in and took care of it. We dropped off our rider and humped it to catch up to the group at the first break point. The group skirted Parker and headed down Los Rios for some challenging hills. It was a nice change of pace. A faster group of 20 split and made their way back on their own. The construction on Renner did not impact our ride but I fell back after fielding some calls from work. Caught up with the group at the second break point and rode with the remaining riders back to the lot. Good ride.
