I started off with Mitch and Henrik again today. It was cooler than yesterday, about 45F, so I had to create my warm head gear with a couple kleenexes under my helmet. The grade was not bad but I had to drop out of the pack at about 6 miles. They needed to keep their pace and between my head overheating and my heart over beating, I had to slow down. Susan arrived to pick me up about half way up a long climb just as I made 10.0 miles.
The ride was really fun. I did my first real downhills at speeds up to 38 mph. They were pretty short, which is good. I think if they had been much longer I would have had to reach into my "fanny pack of fear".
