Rides:
Sat. 52 miles/avg. unknown.
It rained.. I was cold.. but went up the hills fast. So I'm happy with this ride.
Sun. 47 miles/19.2 average.
Windy.. very windy. Got to the start late due to a race which had closed off a road. But I caught the group in about 6 miles... though I killed myself to do it. Didn't hydrate enough on this ride. I need to make it a point to drink more even if it is cold.
Need to start running again.. and swimming a lot more.
Bah.

I need to get a computer.

Tuesday Ride
Ride:
~32 miles/22.4 avg
I got into a yelling match with a guy today. Was about 5 bikes back and they weren't pointing out holes. So I almost ate it twice in a half-mile stretch so I was yelling and cursing quite a bit. Someone got all in my face and we argued for a bit... then he fell back to complain to someone. But I talked to the president of the club after the ride and he was glad someone else is yelling at those idiots. The guys in question are not club members and really drive everyone crazy.
After the ride the "captain" of these guys... comes up to me and explains that I should be nicer. That the guys in question are riding as hard as they can (like 25mph.. heh) and can't even see the holes they are working so hard. I pointed out the flaws in his logic.. that I don't think people who can't keep the pace and not see road hazards/stop signs/traffic lights should be at the front trying to set the pace.
Freaking idiots.
End rant
