We kicked off the first Casey Jones Express A ride with moderate expectations for ourselves, since it was our first express ride of the season. Ken, Diane, and I were evenly matched and quickly formed an effective pace line, regularly rotating the lead. We cruised along and barely noticed the wind. We slowed a bit to chat on Fairgrounds Road. Diane mentioned that she needed this type of ride at least once a week. I could not agree with her more. At the finish, we shared fist-bumps to celebrate our teamwork and 100% effort that resulted in a mid-A pace. All those Winter base miles and cross-training paid off. Great start to the CJE season.
