Yes, former World Champion and Cassanova of the SRRC social, Dave Egan made his annual debut at the training race tonight. He was accompanied by Eric S., fresh off a stint of rehab for PTSD following “The Accident”. The 2 “Wild and Crazy Guys” rode to the first sprint then turned around.
The rest of the ride was pretty weird. Halfway down the main road a group of 5 just road off from the rest of us. In a panic I put in a hard effort to bridge. I was able to bridge bringing Gary and Vonnehman with me. However, 10 seconds after making contact I exploded and was jetisoned off the back. The carnage slowly passed me as I soft pedaled to the “T”. I was not disappointed though because I put in a hard effort and got in a good workout.
After waiting for a while I began to slowly ride toward town. Dave, John, and Gary eventually caught me but the group never came in sight. We waited for a while then road tempo the rest of the ride but the group never appeared……strange.
Did the group slow down, did someone get a flat, or was there a crash? Don’t leave me in suspense.
