“Pop A/B” but more like a slow Pop A Richardson, Texas
Arthur Westover | strava.com
Kimath announced at the beginning of the ride that it was going to be a A/B ride. Implication being it should be controlled and not overly fast. I had some doubts that this would be the case, and I was correct. I wouldn’t say the ride was hard. Felt pretty easy to me actually. I rolled off the front on Park Place without a full investment. The Murphy Road railroat sprint had a slow rollout and just too many bodies to go around. I moved from the back to near the front. After we did Crash Hill, John started moving up after we began the false flat rise. I followed him up and then put in my effort. It can get lonely in the dark when riding alone on Renner! Very lonely! If I hadn’t put in that effort I would have felt like I didn’t do any work on the ride.
