Cycling 4:00:00 [4]
I'd heard that Jim's STLRC rides were fast. They are!!! With 18 riders, I thought that a 2nd "medium" pace group would form -- it didn't. CC Lake to SC visitor center -- co-leader dropped back to bring me in. I probably could have handled 15-16 mph pace -- but not 17-20. Solo, took Katy Trail to Maachens and back to start with stop at Valenti's for lunch.
Hit 1000 miles (2021) exactly at Maachens.
Very tough workout when 1st hour is up tempo and then mostly not paved.
Chatted briefly with Ken de Beers -- he keeps up with the group.
