Is anyone out there?! LOL
This picture from the net sums up how I felt yesterday waiting at the "meeting spot".
I woke up early yesterday morning. I was excited to join in on a big group ride. My first group ride. If you're cycling regularly, group rides help you improve your speed and they get you ready to race in larger groups. I went to the place I was told to go by someone who told me that there would absolutely be people there. She insisted that I shouldn't worry because there were always people at the meeting spot. Guess what? I got there. I waited 30 minutes. Nothing! Not one person showed up. Great. Just great. What a huge waste of time!
Lesson learned - never go to a group ride that is hear say by someone who is insisting that people will just "show up". Find an established group ride.
There are many established group rides by bicycle shops and serious riding teams and if you're wanting to go on a big group ride, that's the way to go. I was seriously ticked off and so I continued my journey to the Miccosukee Golf & Country Club in Kendall Lakes and did a ride after all but it was a solo ride. I hit 24 miles and back home I went. It wasn't what I expected or wanted to do, but it was good anyway.
Countdown to duathlon - 6 days! I can't believe it's next week-end! :-)
