Sunday Recovery Ride
Mark Noblitt | www.strava.com
Wheelman 100 is happening virtually this year. It will always be a fun memory for me because it was the middle century of my double century ride last year. And as a bonus, I got to ride it with my son-in-law Aaron and my dear friend Marina! Today was one of those days when a fast cycling buddy calls and asks me to pace him through a slow recovery ride. Happens a couple times a month for different ones. Clydesdales are good for something, y’all! I always say, play to your strengths, right?
