I probably shouldn't admit this; but after I got dropped this AM from the group ride, i settled into a long (4.5 hrs) fat-burning endurance ride. As I usually do on a ride, I was coming up with ideas to call the ride Strava. I was tempted to quote an almost Elvis lyric "I'm just a lump, a-lump, of burning fat"
