mari-musing: Holiday Monday Group Ride The monthly women’s Liv Ride rolled around this morning and this time clubathletica & I joined the quicker ‘Fillies’ group. The pace was smarter & more suited to our speed but as a ‘no-drop’ ride, we had to do quite a bit of waiting for a group of four or five who kept dropping off. Which would have been absolutely fine if they had been concentrating rather than gas-bagging non-stop & not paying attention. So there was a tight bunch of ten focused women riding safely and a bunch of stragglers who were dropping off due to inattention more than anything else. Anyway, it was fun and even if you’re soft-pedalling, it’s so much quicker in a group! Also, my new derailleur changed like a charm. We had coffee & date loaf at Toscanini’s afterwards. We felt pretty neat in our Liv jerseys and I just love the R&D socks Georgi gave me for Christmas. -- source link
