Half

Half a wheel makes a lot of difference, rolling up the hill I have a comfort zone, it was variable today. I should have a pamphlet on etiquette if it bothers me that much, it doesn't, and I like the extra work. Letting the pace be dictated by someone else is good to out of the comfort zone. I felt gluey, perfectly attached to the bike, maybe it's all of the riding, switching between singles and gears and road and mountain. I felt like a latex cocoon had me comfortably fixed on the bike, out of the saddle up the final climb. back in for the descent, happy.
