It was a hot one

Today started off well when we were greeted with a wonderful breakfast provided by Matt Cassels mom. It was also a good day because I had just gotten my wisdom teeth out and I finished a 100 mile ride so I felt pretty tough. It turned into a logistical nightmare when two pace lines rode down the wrong street. However my pace line did not make that mistake. No we made the mistake of pushing too hard. It seemed that each person leading the pace was pushing it way too hard. The first 70 miles of the ride sucked because we didn't talk and everyone was trying so hard. To top it off we had a side wind and it was 95 degrees out. After Lunch we decided to calm it down a bit and we also had a little tail wind to make things better. 10 miles after lunch two of the riders in my pace line were racked to a KOB presentation that we didn't know was scheduled. So the four of us finished the day. But we didn't finish without some bumps and bruises. about 10 miles out Adam Caruthers clipped Dan Brown's back tire skidded and fell, I was right behind him so I had no time to break I crashed into his bike went over my handlebars and over his bike and landed on my back and smacked my head against the ground. I had a couple scrapes and an instant headache and Adam has some decent cuts, but we were able to finish the ride.
