Rode with Mickey, Larry, and Jay. Some with Scott and Robert as well. Like usual I was usually at the back of the group, but it was closer than in the past and overall I felt really good for most of the ride. Through mile 50ish I felt strong. The next 25 miles or so were tough with a lot of climbing on Floyd Tower Rd, but I managed the whole day without walking my bike, Still felt good enough at the end that when the question of cutting off a few miles came up (after Scott's rear derailleur exploded and chain broke and all he could do was soft pedal as Mickey towed him) I didn't want to go back without 100.
Overall, it was a good day. Beautiful route, great weather (which is a good thing since I gave away my base layer and jacket to Jay after he took an unplanned bath on a slippery low water bridge). I'd have like to be faster, but I was at least faster than I've been in the past.
