Tonight I decided to ride on the Tuesday night fast pace ride with my bike club. This is the first time I have done this ride since March 25. My schedule has not allowed me to do the ride for the most part and I haven't been in good enough shape to keep up with our racing group in the past.Our ride starts and ends at Harper's Cycling & Fitness in Muscatine (thanks to Greg & Charlie for letting riders use their shop as a staging area). Tonight we had 9 riders show up. The route we took tonight was a hilly course and 3 riders were dropped early in the ride. The rest of us stayed together through the turn around and then about half way back 1 rider was dropped on the last hill. I ended up getting dropped before we got back into Muscatine, but was surprised that I was able to stay with the group that long. My conditioning has really improved a lot since I rode with them back in March. My training has targeted the QC Triathlon race on June 14 to reach my peak fitness. I could tell last night that I was riding better than I did at the Melon City Criterium a week and a half ago.
