Body step and long rides dont mix

Wow.  Just got back from a ride.  Not being too familiar with routes in SD, I choose to do the same route I did last week with Steve.  It was great.  I went with my friend Dave.  It was great.  The weather was perfect.  It was cool and overcast, which is great as there was no sun beating down on me and the weather kept you cool.  Dave was a good riding buddy.  He and I had a good pace and cadence.  What is funny is he was all in black.  We had to catch the ferry to San Diego.  So I passed him and said "lets go!  Got to catch the ferry" and I took off at a moderate pace.  Well I looked over my shoulder and he is on me, literally right on my ass drafting me (I think its drafting, or drifting, either or).  So I sped up, he speeds up.  I am thinking, thanks for motivating me Dave, but I am still new, get off my tail or we will crash and burn.  I couldn't keep up so I shifted to ease the thighs burning and Dave passes me.  Low and behold, it wasn't Dave!  Oops.  But man, that was scary to see someone right on me, inches away.  I didn't like it.  Yeah, I took the brunt of the wind and you got the easy way, but give a man some room!  Dave wants to go again so I am happy that he is into riding again and hope that he keeps me motivated and going.  It is nice to have someone else rely on you being there bright and early so you don't get lazy and not ride.  Also, Steve already sent an email for the next ride.  So I am pretty lucky that I have friends who also ride who will keep me going!
However, as the title says, BodyStep (think a step class on speed) the day before a long ride, doesn't mix too well.  Thanks to Emily and Kira, I took an amazing step class that incorporated some light dancing and step.  Yes, slightly unmasculine, but it was super fun and amazing.  I sweated so much.  A literal fountain of sweat puring off of me.  But man, my legs hurt.  Tomorrow will be a bad day for my sexy legs!
