I just love the Kilkare ride. This time I was able to ride it with Ross, Ray, and Lin of the TNT-Marin/Moab team. I managed to get in some extra miles with Bob beforehand and then tacked some on at the back in order to ride home.
We all rode together from Shannon Park out to Kilkare and once we got there Ross and I rode with Ray. He really seems to enjoy riding and we all rode comfortably together. I think Ross just let Ray and I keep up. Hold out, maybe Ray and Ross just let me keep up because Ray was really spinning like Lance Armstrong... just like Ross does! I felt a bit like the Jan Ullrich of the bunch turning the pedals at only around 70 revs per minute as these two made the cranks fire like a sewing machine.
All in all, we had a great ride and the Mavic Ksyrium wheels John gave me really feel good and the stiffness makes for a solid ride. I also like how free and easy the wheels turned with smooth "new" bearings.
Well, Thursday was an off day and I am still not sure what to do with Friday. I may try a bit of soccer, but we will have to see based on the weather and my sanity level.
Cheers!
