Saturday Grecco Ride

Its been at least 2 or more years since I did the Grecco ride. So my husband said - go do it have fun! That's exactly what I did. Now I didn't stay with the fast group the whole time but when they were around I did. I took a couple of short cuts with the sensible group and jumped back in when they caught us. I had a great time. Oh but I need to ride a bit more.
