Many people like to do something special on the last day of the year. Some of us did what we most love to do…ride our bike. Brian T., Linz, Sam, Mel, Brian M., Debbie S. and I participated in the Greenville Spinners Final Fifty and we all had a great time. Since this was a hometown event, most of us knew quite a few of the 250+ riders that showed up to enjoy the 63 degree SC sunshine. Truly amazing weather for December 31.
Being that it’s December and most of us are still trying to build our base, you would expect this to be a casual spin into the hills. But you know how cookie rides go, and this one started out at a pretty good clip. Some of us stayed with the front group for a while, exerting more effort than our coaches would prescribe, but it never hurts to do a few efforts on a group ride to gauge where you are with your fitness.
I was pleased with my fitness test and timed my efforts well. Many of us regrouped at the 27 mile mark and spun back together. It was an awesome day to be on a bike no matter how fast you were going.
Happy New Year to everyone and I look forward to seeing you in the saddle soon.
