"A" Group Rain Ride

With no races going on this weekend, I organized some of the "A" riders from GTC and we did a "hang, or get dropped" ride in the rain this morning. Well, it wasn't totally brutal, I did allow a re-grouping after the two big climbs and attack zones. It was mostly fun for me because I felt strong, but the conditions were wet and a bit sketchy at times.

Some of the riders are experiencing really good mid-to-late season fitness, others are coming back from a mid-season layoff and will be ready for the end of the road season or the ramping up for cyclocross season. Doug, who arrived too late for the photo, is one rider who has relatively good fitness now and found himself in rather elite company most of the time, but couldn't quite hang with the front group on the big climbs.
