Okay, I started out doing the short ride (34) with the slow spokes group and had a couple of friends show up to ride with Debby and I. Things were going well other than running a little hard on the first 13 before the split. One of my friends decided to do the 50 route and it did not look like there any other takers, so I changed the course in the Garmin and went with Ralph after giving Debby the keys to car so she could head on home and I would just ride home. It worked out, but my average heart rate for the last 37 miles was 160 and it was all I could do to try and keep up toward the end. To say I am about to crash at the moment is an understatement. I am supposed to ride mountain with Josh tomorrow. Hopefully I will be able to make it. At this point it’s doubtful.
