Had my legs today! Nice mostly solo climb up Benedict. Started last with a small group from the bathroom at the park (they left us!). Rode the big ring all the way to the pitch up. Good lead pull on Mulholland (big ring) and blasted the descent (42 mph). Hit the Sepulveda run hard with a great pull by Tony Smith - soon it was just us. Got off his wheel and paced off of Tony with no draft = good, hard work. Last leg the peloton caught up at a red light, Patricio blasted by me but I caught him and passed him approaching the VA entrance. (I think he was gassed from all the chasing.) Good run down San Vicente till my hip spasmed, got over that and got back in the race! Had a nice ride back to the barn with Paulette, chit chatting and winding down.
