Just got back from a 50 or so mile ride on the Leader, the drop, aluminum and lack of gloves killed me. My shoulders ache, my hands are terribly sore and my legs feel murdered.
In other words a good time. Tried to mess with the Wolf Pack tonight, and I got dropped like I just took the training wheels off my first huffy. So me and a couple of friends did the Marathon route off the route slips they gave us. Ended up being a great deal of fun. I was pushing so hard as I came to the end my calf nearly cramped up.
Now I'm home, covered in sweat, not that "been pushing hard feels good" sweat, more of the "jesus christ I got home at 2:30 in the morning and everything hurts and i'm pouring sweat from exhuastion" sweat.
