It was ok dark and cold to get out of bed and ride with the group this morning so I turned my alarm off and went back to sleep. When I finally went to head out for a ride about 8:30 I discovered my rear tire was flat, so I changed it and finally headed out around 9:00. It was actually kind of nice to ride solo. While I didn't have the real hard efforts like I do when I ride with the group, I had a much steadier consistent effort for the whole ride which I enjoyed. I also spent most of the ride in my aerobars which I don't do riding with the group. It's good to practice being in that position since my end goal with riding is to get back into triathlons. I rode a bit over 32 miles.
