Got about 3 hours of base-ish miles in.

Showed up for half of the first daylight group ride and it's same as always: too slow. Spent 20 minutes with a NP of 91W until we got to the area where the "fast" guys take off and I just sat on the front doing 250W on top of my bars while people were somehow getting shelled out of the group on pan-flat roads. I slowly rolled on power at one point to see if anyone would come play. When I say "slowly", I mean it. I went from 57W to 605W over 90 seconds and by the time I looked back I was 30 seconds up the road by myself. Reminded me of why I never go to that ride unless I want the social aspect.
