Talk about a great day... Ok weather, nice roads, good coffee and lunch, and good pace.
I can only speak for myself, but I think I hit the pop point two dozen times (and once for 20 mins after lunch when it didn't want to fuel me right away). Dallas, Chris, Keith and Craig slayed (hey Dallas, why doesn't that 20kph cold north headwind slow you down even a tiny bit?). Some photographer for a Cochrane newspaper thought we were novel enough to take some photos on the back roads. At the end Dallas and Chris rode off into the sunset up Old Banff Coach road, and I just b-lined it home to make it back before my energy got too low for the temperature. I spent less time off the back than prior weeks which feels nice.
That was some serious effort, I love riding with you guys. Refuel for tomorrow!
Dallas was a machine with his monster pulls into that brutal headwind.
ReplyDeleteI can't think of a much better way to spend a Saturday - thanks for letting the token tri-geek tag along!
Hey Hoop - just fyi - when everyone else is in the rear view mirror, you're not "tagging along".
ReplyDeleteI was simply trying to build up as large a gap as possible just in case he hit some more of that single track. I think I may have actually been going backwards on that initial section!
