Comments: This first hot ride! And oh did I suffer...

I started out feeling fine and flew up the last rise on Issaquah-Fall City and I felt fine going up to the falls too but then after taking a long pull on the loop Clint C, Dave H, Alan W and Alistair L stormed by me on the steep bit. From then on I was shaky and just got worse. I was shelled unceremoniously going up Ames Lake and was hating it on the flats thereafter.

I totally limped home and did about 8 mph from Lake WA to my house. Shit.

Dave and Alan were both riding really well, especially Dave. He went with every single acceleration.
Equipment: Ti Cycles Hyak, 42/53, 12-25, Neuvation wheels
