Ha ha...I went to ride with the Big Boys in Gruene today and found out, when I got there that they had already left. They usually leave at 6:00 but I guess with the days getting shorter they are now leaving at 5 or 5:30. I decided to go ahead and ride solo. I passed them about half 12 miles out, they were already headed back. On all my other rides in Gruene I have started out with the Big Boys so I was able to draft off them for the first 6 or 7 miles. My best speed, with their help, has been 19.2 avg. speed. Today it was 19.5 by myself so I'm happy with that. I didn't start out very strong either today as I was trying to decide if I was going to push or just cruise.

I'm almost to that 30 mile @ 20 mph goal.
(I did have one stop once to turn on my lights on this ride since I rode past dark.)
Matthew 5:16 Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
