The Team unites...

Team Weak & Feeble got together for the first full team ride on Saturday. Hoping to get a taste of team riding we met about noon for a little ride in the woods. It stared out as Dr Evil, PJ, & JJ and after s short loop we met up with A1. Within another 5 minutes, NK arrived and we were at full strength. We were rode a little over 13 miles in a couple hours. Definately not a killer pace and probably a little off race pace. We had one mechanical issue in A1 losing his brakes. Guess that could be an issue over 13,000 feet of climbing assuming there is a corrsponding 13,000 feet of descending. So with roughly 60 days to go til Jay I think we have some additional suffering that needs to be banked in order to be ready for the race. Not sure what others thought but it seemed that after about 1/4 of the race distance we were not as fresh as we need to be to finish, especially considering we had not done but about 1/10th of the climbing for the race. IMHO as Team Weak & Feebles mid term ride came to an end I would give us a C+. Definate room for improvement, but not a total wreck.

I was able to get out on Sunday with Dr Evil for a little ride in the woods as well and covered about 10 miles in and hour and a half. Other tahn a minor endo ina rock garden leaving me bloody and bruised it was good.

My luck continued on Monday and I got out with some of the guys from Davis Hill faor another 10 miles in the woods. No incidents with the rock garden this time. Rode right through the bastard. Anyone have any Deet?
