WBL #8

Last Sunday's WBL turned out to be another great ride. With Collegiate racing beginning last weekend our numbers were a bit diminished. I have no idea what lame excuses the missing regulars had but the rest of us rolled out at 9AM headed for another big loop. After a crash on the tracks on Spruill Ave, our numbers were down to only 7 riders. Trip turned back with a gash in his tire, Rob got too far away from Mt. Pleasant, and I have no idea what was wrong with John Hayes. Nevertheless, the rest of us pushed on inland. Shortly before arriving in Monck's Corner, the decision was voted on to hang a right and return home via Cypress Gardens and Bushy Park Rd. After a stop at the Church's Chicken for Brad we headed home in a large lollypop route. The rest of the ride was great with a smooth rotating double paceline.
Upon our arrival back at N. Rhett I noticed that I had to be at work in an hour...and it was going to be windy all the way. We try to stay nice and steady on the WBL but this caused an unfortunate mood swing as the hammer now needed to be dropped. Luke, Wilson, and I hit it pretty hard all the way back to town as the others rode a sensible pace. It was going to be close. Fortunately I made it back with 5 min to spare and went directly to work. Thanks for the help guys, couldn't have made it back on time without it!
See everyone next week. Probably going to do a 3 hr loop in the forest with 3 sprints. Time to add some speed and break up the standings!
Looking forward
