WE HIT THE BOTTOM OF THE WALL 40 RIDERS STRONG.
I was 10 guys back.
Then 5.
With 100 meters to go, at the steepest point, I was 2nd wheel ...
Hot damn! I must be riding really good today.
At the apex I peeked back, expecting to see the usual handful.
Instead, I saw all 40 glued to my wheel.
Through misty breath gasps it was easy to note they weren't even working.
Then it hit me.
Earlier in the ride, they'd been a little frisky at the regroup... leaving the stragglers behind (I'd know).
Being the mother hen, I took it upon myself to make very, very clear that's not the way we ride this time of year.
Yes, while I was "proudly" summitting... they timidly followed their elder.
How could I be so mean?
I feel just awful.
The only way I can make it up to 'em is by offering this amazing light for a smoking deal...

I won't remind them how I feel about their many weak and worthless taillights...
I've caused enough trauma for the day...
Who the heck lets The Old Diesel beat 'em on the climb? Poor little chickies.
