I haven't got any graphs or Garmin connect info, but went out on my local club run today to find all of the riders bar one was at an event. Instead,
me and another veteran rider took out some beginners for a small 30 mile route. Maybe it was presence of the sun but it was a lovely change to
get out and chat with beginners where they looked at me as a pro.
Instead of having riders on the front turning the screw or trying to stay in their training bpm zones, it was nice to appreciate just being out and savoring the moment.
It was probably the fact that everybody was new to each other, but it was nice to chat openly to riders who haven't yet learnt the slight elitism
which you sometimes find between experienced riders.
Anyway lecture over, but that sun today was gorgeous.
