I got to ride with the big dogs today. 47 miles through Wood and Rains County, Texas. Despite having only cycled a few times this year and not more than 20 miles, I held on up until the last 5 miles. But my legs said enough. Thanks for the pull, guys. https://t.co/yimhmeiJui pic.twitter.com/gurVetoPIL
