PM: Thursday Night Dirt - 4 hours 19'. 195W. HR 155.
Weather was nowhere near the forcast. Still not bad. Rode A group. Felt good as we got going, but I had felt a little sluggish on my warmup there. I dropped a bottle on Gunn and people called it out, so I felt like I needed to be polite and go back and get it (I didn't want to). Bridging the gap back to A group was not something I wanted to try. I chased them for 4.5 miles and caught them. I am not sure if they were slowing, but I definitely was pushing. I think I was solidly over 300 watts. I wish I had hit the lap button for the data. Kept a solid pace with the group. Took a bad line in some loose gravel on the Dequindre Hill and got dropped. The combination of bridging back to the group and taking some solid pulls left me gassed.
Took an extended detour home. Needed about 4 hours, so I went down the Clinton River Trail and then down Squirrel to campus and went through there and back toward home.
Loop data: 20.2 MPH, 255 watts, HR 172
