Happy Birthday Bob!!! First ride where I had to put on a base layer. Some spots, it was too warm for it, others, I could've used more clothing. Doug kicked my butt on OLH but I managed to get a PR. I couldn't get my HR up and it didn't feel as smooth and as effortless as the first couple of weeks back from the Pyrenees. Not sure how much longer I can keep this up. Sonny and Bob took their time going up. On W. Alpine, I decided to go for it. I took it a little bit easier and it felt much better. I was able to find my rhythm. We hammered a little to Alice's. We had to wait quite a while for a table and the service was quite slow but it was worth it. Finished off the ride with some more hammering. Bob was feeling better and a little frisky so we had some sprints... which he lost. It was his birthday but I wasn't going to just let him win. He's gotta earn it! :)
