It kinda feels like a cop out to drive home after a bike ride.

But I guess it's either that or suffer the long journey home alone and out there on the road - something I'm definitely not ready for as yet. Tonight was a nice workout with sweet, friendly people. Joined Hansel, Andrea & Ee-Lyn for their Tuesday night ride to get my legs moving again after the race. Turns out they ride with quite a few of the Wheelsareturning peeps so I wasn't in unfamiliar territory. And after a couple of years of seeing Athena around the scene, I finally rode with her tonight. And boy, do I know why they call her 'Athena the Han' - Han, being her surname.

Totally alone on coastal, I felt the only way I'd keep the ride going was to catch up with whoever was in front of me. Fresh from her three day ride for the Bike 'n Blade, Athena was still super strong. We took turns shielding each other from the wind and kept a good speed, but to be honest, I felt rather sheepish whenever she took over as she'd pull us along at the very same speed but on her mountain bike with knobbies. WTF. I put Sttorm to shame tonight.

Still, it was fun. I don't know how far we went and I don't know what the stats are. But who gives :)

I wonder if I can get up early tomorrow morning..
