SSSSSSlllllooooowwwww.

I am slow. In fact, I am extremely slow.

For the past few weeks, I have been doing the group ride, but it has not ended up with me in much of a group, primarily because I am way to slow to ride with the group. I have been riding once or twice a week, but apparently, that doesn't constitute enough training to remove me from the slow ranks. I have however progressed from the horrifically pathetic ranks to extremely slow.

Here are some marks of progress that I have noticed on my journey from horrifically pathetic to extremely slow:

1) While I still cry during rides, there are no longer enough tears to block out the information from the SRM, which has lightened the load that I carry in my jersey pocket since I no longer require a squeegee to clear it off.

2) I hit a non-wind aided top speed of 20 the other day on level ground. I called the folks at Guinness, but apparently they don't do records anymore, they just sell beer

3) No one suggests that I leave the 6:00 Tuesday ride start at 5:15 so that I can make it over Dragline with the group anymore (5:25 was strongly suggested though)

I will be on the lookout to see what it will take to make the transition from extremely slow to just plain slow. If I figure it out, I could progress once again.
