Today was my first organized training ride. I made a rookie mistake right at the start by clipping in when the first group was released to ride. I thought the whole pack would go at once. Oops. At least I was able to get my foot out before I fell and brought anyone down with me!! After that, I decided to do lots of watching.
I ended up having a great ride and a lot of fun. It was very COLD, but when the sun peeked out, it was beautiful. For part of the ride we rode along the feeder to a highway. This was a little scary, but with so many cyclists around, I felt safer than had I been alone. But I don’t think I would have attempted riding along the feeder alone, anyhow.
