I'm Doing Something Right.

I'm doing something right. Although I'm not at my wedding weight I've lost 3 pounds. I'm not at my fastest, yet I'm holding my own. But more importantly my rides are diversified. Fast Mondays, amigos Wednesdays, century Fridays, and solo rides home makes me more entertaining than any theme filled cruise lines.

This morning I arrived 30 minutes early for my morning group. Instead of riding extra Mo Miles I sat down, injected some caffeine and shared the latest roadie vs mountain biker parody with the amigos. The chatter continued as we blended in with other riders through Sausalito and that's when the chatter stopped. Mikey made the first move embarassing the group of 9 riders as he flew up the road dropping everyone in sight. I did my best not to panic and kept him in sight. One by one the next three riders passed me. But my strength is in the middle. I closed back as Mikey fought off the alpha before giving way. I'd like to tell you that I won the day. That I closed with an effortless glide as if Aloha turned Beta was a flat footed beach cruiser. Nope, that didn't happen. But I did grab his wheel and stayed just to his left. A sign that the climb was his today. Good show. But I'm right next to you buddy and my friends have my back. Cause I'm doing something right and I wouldn't change a thing.
