Hard right from the get go. Ugh. There was a small traffic delay coming off the spillway. I did better than usual going up Loving hill. A small delay at the top squeezed the group back together before going up West Shore. By the time we hit the top I was in back of what was left of the group. I made it almost to the Boat Ramp Lot before pulling my own plug -- I was allowing gaps to form and pulled out. Two other guys and I try to take the short cut over the walking bridge at Mockingbird to hopefully catch up and rejoin but we were too late. I lost them going up Bath House Hill and eventually drop to cruise pace. I was on my way up to Mockingbird again, planning to turn around and head home, but I ran into Sam and Sam Jr. and continued around the lake with them. They ride melloooooooooooooow.
