Thursday Night Intervals

What I learned today is, if your butt is used to the saddle, the little tri-shorties are fine and dandy (and yield a nice tan line for the shorts you wear the rest of the time). However, if your butt is soft and out of shape from not being in the saddle (and therefore, prone to getting sore), the $170 Cannondale Carbon shorts that span the length of your body from your knees to your boobs... well, they are priceless!

Today I struck out on my ride after work, and caught up with the Thursday night interval group. You can tell it's still early in the season... there were people scattered all over the route. I think the A group only had six riders. A guy passed me and I caught on to his wheel, and stuck with him for quite a ways. I told him I was glad he came along because I had begun to fall asleep at the handlebars. It's boring to ride alone, and I tend to go off into never never land and ride slower. Last year I always rode with you know who (and if you don't, it doesn't matter), and I really miss that. It was hard tonight riding behind that guy, not to imagine for just a minute that it was still last year... but it's not. And looking on the bright side, the view was more than fine and kept me motivated! :)

So I got in a 31 mile ride, followed by a couple mile run, and it was nice to see some familiar faces and talk to a few people I haven't seen in a while. Maybe Thursday night intervals will become my regular ride again!
