What a great night for a ride. Wonderful weather and fast riding. I have to give thanks to Bernie for the pulls up the hills. While riding I got to have a good conversation with Bernie about Limitations. I follow the Clint Eastwood philosophy: A mans got to know his limitations. Bernie's was don't let your limitations prevent success. Too True! Knowing and defining are totally different. Press your limitations until you have achieved higher marks. I jokingly replied mine was to suck tire tonight (though that was my goal..which I have never attained) but surpassed that by being in the front (even if it was short) among all the greats. Yes they are greats and this is not idle boasting...Their recovery pace is about my max pace...so they are always pushing me past my limitations... for that I thank you all. My legs however say $&#*! They can only get better.
I also have two other biking rules...never draft behind dave (he just goes faster)...never get in front of dave (he just goes faster). I violated both of those rules tonight (he went faster). Ok they are not rules per say...more like guidelines...Thanks for getting me out of my comfort zone though.
This was a great night of riding with good friends. They even let the King of the downhill keep his crown down the steep one. WooHoo.
