We lucked out with one of the warmest days so far for 2012 on Saturday. At 7:30 AM we met in the parking lot and everyone was shedding layers before we even began. Yes, it was a shorts day! John & I got a babysitter and invited all the local riders for a "fun" spin. I was determined to keep the first 30 minutes slow, but since I was leading I felt so much pressure to keep the pace up. So it turned into a much faster paced ride than I planned on (and advertised as a few of the riders reminded me!). It turned out to be a really great day in the sunshine and everyone was super positive the whole time. We're planning a repeat ride soon.
