zerker loop, 2 strong

sunday:

met at beach, the numbers were much smaller..with about 8 total. we headed down the path, before we even hit granite road one dropped...i stayed with him for a couple traffic lights as i felt the groups pace was way too fast as well esp since we had only been riding for 20min, he told me to go with them he wasn't going to carry a high pace all day, so i caught back on.. when we turned onto granite road, the pace picked up..was kind of assanie.....i stayed for a few miles, then dropped off myself. just didn't have the legs for what was on the rest of the groups mind. 5 of them stopped at a turn off to "foot down pee" and i continued knowing that if they kept their pace they would catch me soon.. i kept on rolling keeping a watchful eye on my hr and rpms. staying at or below 158bpm and at or above 95rpms. i saw a lone rider ahead, and caught him, it was bob m, he hadn't stopped to pee with the others. so it felt good to catch him. we continued on our own to the y. as we turned to head to zerker we saw the others getting close. but when we looked again they were nowhere to be found. so we either put the hammer down, or they finally dropped off the pace they were carrying..whatever, they were on their ride, we were on ours. we rode through the orange, grape, clementine and almond fields to and on zerker road.. then the frontage road back to town. was a good ride and it was nice to get to know bob a bit better, he's a nice guy who just enjoys ridin his bike..

back into town, headed to the beach...was fun...walked in the sand, stood in the water and acted goofy..

monday: rest, whew..
