nice team ride and intervals..ouch

this morning was a beautiful one. i got on board at 8am, yeah it was a little early, and cold, like arm warmer, knee warmer and jacket cold... made my way to the group ride and got 2 of my 4 10min intervals done on the way there....
got to the designated meeting place and was happy to see some of the mates that i haven't got to chat with for quite some time. but sad to see one that i don't care to chat with much at all, oh well what can you do..
so we got underway and headed south into the uc.. i did my last 2 intervals, the last one was fun as milner was with me the whole time guiding me through the route we took...we also separated from the group, but knew we would meet up with them again..well that turned into a little bit of a mess. we stopped back on a main road to wait thinking they would come one of the two ways to meet up with us...after sitting for a little milner called and found out they were ahead of us, but that was wrong......so shortly after the arrived and we were once again together..and pressing onward.. we got to the mouth of af canyon and there was a bit of an attack launched by a jr at the top of the hill...well he kind of got his as those of us with bigger gearing dropped the hammer and killed it for the next little while. was good to be working with zach, milner, claw, miller and chase...we worked hard... re re-grouped and continued south...hit the reg stop to fill up water, then onward.. we rode the sweet, smooth road along the lindon section of utah lake, i wish every road was like that.. chase got a flat so we stopped while he got it straightened out then on again...someone else flatted shortly after...
once back underway it was mellow, but someone (no name mentioned here) wanted to keep pressing the pace, even after a couple folks hollered to back it off....it's a group ride...i mean yes i did some training, but i was primarily there to ride with the group...if you didn't want to ride with the group, then go on a solo mission ride... so we essentially let him go and occasionally he would reappear and join us again only to repeat his past steps....whatever.. chase was like "i really want to chase him down" i said who cares he's a dink let him go and be a dink... so we stayed together till miller and milner dropped off to head home.. along the frontage road chase and i dropped the hammer to see if zach and claw would try to catch us...it was fun and they were hurtin afterward.....but all of us continued to push the pace...
always fun to ride with good mates and drill it.....had a good time, got training done...
