I joined Del’s fast boys for another rip out your lungs ride.  My lungs were ripped out and I and still searching for them.

I did manage to hang on for the first 9 miles but it did take maximum effort.  Then, as we started the first serious hill I was gapped.  I started to chase and I did manage to keep the lead pack in view, but I could not close and finnaly droped off.  Shortly thereafter, I broke a rear, non-drive side spoke and limped in the last 11 miles. 

While we had only thin cloud cover, it got cold near the end of the ride.  I worn an undershirt, a short sleeve Jersey and arm warmers.  This proved to be a bit less than what I really should have worn.
