The Plan: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/12698267 CRW ride led by Jack from Bedford Library on a Saturday Riding with Farhana for the first time in quite a while. We planned to leave early because she had some time restrictions on the back end. For some reason - likely yesterday's Century - I was tired as a dog. Just could not keep up. And could not push the heart rate. But we rode well and Farhana did a lot of the pulling. We met a Lexington rider she knew on the way back and the 3 of us rode in together. At the start of the ride there was a new lady rider, Kira, who was training for her first PMC. We gave her a bit of info and she met a rider, Bear, who agreed to help her with the course since she had no GPS and no cue sheet. Jack had portions of the long ride that were not part of the standard 27 mile ride, going north on Fiske/Elm street rather than Martin St. So that section was also not arrowed. A good way to get permanently lost in the recesses of Carlisle. As luck would have it Kira and Bear came in with Jack and Walter Frank and all was well! (On the Century I pretty much averages 14.7-9 - today on similar terrain it was 13.3 - wildly different)
