Once over the blue moon, I never felt so good that leading the pack with full speed, but not for long...about 1/2 of a mile before the tunnel on SART, Greg and Tuan took back the lead quickly as my energy ran low...that was less than 30 seconds of my guts & glory...then Sang, Capt, Duc, Nic, Phong, Luke, Thang, Loc...one by one followed the lead...and then Long came out of nowhere charged in even faster and stronger...he took back the lead from the bloody wolf pack A1, way to go Long!...I was literally almost out of breath but no time to endure and to avoid the carnage which I did create, I quickly tapped into the Red/White/Black bullet train with my entire left over strengths...(correct me if I am wrong, the speed indicated on my computer was 30.7 mile/hr) Man! I had just turned the camaraderie ride into the massacre one.<br /><br />My front wheel pulling back further and further from Duc's rear wheel...I saw Luke also dropped out of the chase and pulled out a side...I was hurting, I was breathing so hard that I thought I never was, my lungs probably flapping left and right inside my chest's case, my mouth dried up, my right leg about goes into the cramp mode...but thanks goodness the Slater under pass was in sight, everyone started slowing down...<br /><br />That was one of the exciting & extreme chase that the gazelles have never before done with the alpha wolves.<br /><br />ride on...Toanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08488944314010914392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8556831955953974993.post-59259223626559071662010-07-20T21:07:33.596-07:002010-07-20T21:07:33.596-07:00Another great ride along with awesome recap. This...Another great ride along with awesome recap. This is one of the larger group ride we have throughout the year. <br /><br />As indicated, we were dominated by A2 riders with new members or should I say, "Rock Racing" members. Cool. Not only A2 came in massive crowd, they also set the pace as well.<br /><br />As usual, we have highly compassionate riders. As you can see from many challenges and changes of lead riders and chasers.<br /><br />Great day! Thanks to Phong, Tuan, A Toan, and Billy for your support in summarizing this ride. Also, all road captains and volunteers to help new riders.<br /><br />T2.TrekManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06816201305163083120noreply@blogger.com
