group riding, double paceline

[shaq-d]

last year i was with the local city cycling club, recreational tourists who did distance. was fun.

this year i've joined a local racing club... just had my first ever "skills" training, double paceline echelon, switching off the front every 5-12 seconds.. for 3 hours..going fast without feeling dead...protected by wind.. was absolutely amazing. the coach-racer guy was excellent too.

i've never had so much fun on a bike before. can't wait to start the racing thing after i get my fitness level up. (three cheers for D'ornellas in toronto)
