you can always tell . . .

. . . when you're about to suffer. I did my first group ride this weekend with Brian 'on fuego' fuentes, Collin 'the german engine' Becker, Megan 'my last name is Monroe so I don't need a cool nickname' Monroe, Jen 'The Jenerator' Gersbach, Ward 'the rookie' Baker, and Erin 'Huckstable' Huck. (and rode with 'handsome' Rob Batey the day before - for an honorable mention).

It's good to see these people. They make me suffer. They make me laugh. They make me better.
