longer than i wanted, but good after the hill climb

this morning's ride was a slog.....well parts of it anyway. was planning on meeting jason and erin ~8am, well they didn't show or were running late so i took off as i had to meet brockbank at 8:15 on my way to the team ride leaving from the shop at 9...more like 9:15 but i guess it just works out that way.. so just as i see brockbank jason and erin catch on....jason says, well guess we got a little later start than expecting..hahahaha yeah got it.. shortly after erin met up with another friend (the one who likes to ride in the middle of the lane) and they went and did their own thing.. we rode mellow and were at the shop before everyone else except chase.. so anyway 9:15 hits and we're rollin...we headed west as we thought booth would find us if we did that, not the case....but oh well. miller was riding slow, kind of how it goes after "the only training he's had for the last 2 weeks has been behind a dinner table" not my words but i just about fell off my bike when i heard it....it was however quite mean and the only one who could have gotten away with saying it is the guilty one who did....nice..... anyway due to the fact there was a straggler or 2 we decided to climb bingham canyon for a little while, that little while turned into much longer than i was expecting and i was way out of zone while doing so....so i backed it off and rode my own pace...that canyon is so darn strange.....i fear i will be raped every time i'm riding up there. the ride down was FAST, so fast we scared a car off the road.... from there we headed north on 111, all but jason and i turned off at the first light to head back to the shop..jason and i continued north to 3500s then wound our way back home.. kind of odd we ran into a little rain on 111 that lasted for about 60seconds... it started so slow that i thought i was feeling sweat drops from my head/helmet on my legs, but then it was coming down hard then before we knew it it was done..

good ride, i'm hammered.....my legs are screaming no more.....think tomorrow's a rest day, whew.
