I rode up to meet the Winter Springs Cycling Club for their Sat AM B-52 ride. Arrived at the meeting point early so I did some extra miles. I was concerned about doing the 52 mi B fast ride as I had a hard ride yesterday and i've been fighting a cold, but I did it anyway. We held a pretty constant 22 pace. (40 min at 21, 60 at 22, 18 at 23) Had a small problem were my front derailer was hitting the chain a little, so when we got to Fort Christmas I adjusted the FD. Took the bike for a little spin around the parking lot to test and boom, the rear derailer cable snapped!. So now I got 30+ mi to do with only high gear. Managed to finish the ride OK, but legs were pretty tired due to all the hammering. There was rain here and there in the area but we didn't have any on the ride, but on my way home I hit rain for the last mile.
