With a temporary lull in the local racing scene this weekend, combined with nice weather and the usual summer training surge, the Giro Ride had a big group today. I guess the regular Giro group numbered around 50 at its peak, and that's not counting the "Bovine Paceline" group that had started out earlier or the Triathlete group that we passed en route. I was planning on doing a group ride on the northshore on Sunday, so was trying to avoid burning all my matches today. As always happens this time of year, the slow stretches of the Giro Ride are getting fewer and farther between. Also, the number of riders who stay with the group has been going up each week. My only really hard effort today was a sprint up the Casino bridge at the end, but that's not to imply that I didn't get a workout. Even sitting in this time of year takes a lot of work. When the turnaround sprint came up today I somehow found myself on Rob's wheel when he lauched past the front. I stayed there for a while, but finally dropped off before he made it to the finish, wherever that is. I hung around the parking lot for a while today, and so ended up riding home alone.
