Wednesday night ride...giggles and grins

Ah, it made me miss Bataan...

Last night was the weekly TARGETRAINING Wednesday night ride out of the Westport location. With traffic and pending rain keeping most away, a small but quick group headed out at 6:15pm.

Eneas gave us the directions and pretty boy Max Viega nodded his head. "yes" he says, " Iknow where to go". So, those two, me, client Dave, tri Dave, Frank and Lyn start riding. Max starts going fast and I had no choice but to cover him. it was my moral obligation.

Everyone had a lot of fun, and we decided to suffer too much. Soon, client Dave, Tri-Dave, Frank and Lyn were happy to let us do hill repeats (by the second time up Old Redding Road hill Frank and Lyn were concerned for our sanity). We were going fast...

We kept riding side by side. Max and Kyle. Mano a mano. Shark and Quinn. It was gruesome. This was no half wheel session, this was an all out macho fight. Who could inflict and suffer pain.

Well, we were both pretty tired. And around 8pm when we re-crossed the Trumbull town line, pretty scared. I was lost. Maximus kept talking how he recognized this road and how he does repeats on this hill. Blah blah blah.

THREE HOURS LATER, we make it back to Westport. Ugh. No one was waiting. Nice, we deserved it. I headed South back to my car at the office and Max went home. Until next week...
