TNR for July 7th. Need some Group

17 riders rolled out under nice skies. There was a lot of horsepower which unbridled can cause its fair share of fun and problems.

As with all group rides it is a GROUP ride 1st and individual effort second. Blowing off the front or taking flyer's shatters the group and the pack dynamics. We definitely will split up the group in the future. This week we witnessed the Team Time Trial at the TdF. The TTT shows what is best about group riding. The strongest riders do not try to splinter the rest but rather take longer pulls. In the TTT you are only as strong as the group and so it is in any group ride. Take a pill before the next ride and do what you can to get everyone to the finish together.

It will be hot next week. Keep you cool and have fun.

Next week at 5:25pm SO2
