i effing did it...

Today when we put the helmets on Craig Turner said, "Hey how about the bike path?" to which John Topoleski replies "Thats a great idea" to which i replied in my head, "great, why dont you just say, 'lets drop steve off in the middle of siam'"...

...so bummed...

Went out at an easy pace, nothing serious, then we turned around at the end. Pace was rough, and i was losing my cool, but then it happened. The leaders on the front started to cycle through. Not a paceline like last week in the canyon, the front 2 riders would just fall off the front and the next two would pull through. Mark foyst and i were 3rd in line, then 2nd, then 1st. Pulled for about 10 minutes and mark says to me, "what do you think are you all done" i managed to squeek out "yep" and craig and johnny pulled through. I thought i was going to die, but i didnt get spit out the back. Finished the whole ride, although it was quite evident that the bagel i ate before we left was LONG gone about 4 miles to the end. I made it. Unreal! No drop ever. First time for everything huh?
