Pedaling for Pennies

My new cross team did a yearly fundraiser yesterday called pedaling for pennies, abbreviated as p4p, to raise money for the team the next year, and is a requirement to be on the team the next year. The ride was 128 miles starting at our coaches house in Broomfield and went up to Carter Lake up to Horsetooth Reservoir and then back to Broomfield through Ft. Collins and Berthoud. I did not make it the way even though I was in the fastest group of riders. I made it to the 3rd aide station which was approx. 70 miles. There was a ton of climbing and I knew I wasn't going to the whole way. I rode really hard with two of my other team mates, Gabe and D. Gregs and our coach Carlos. It was cold the whole day, about 55 degrees Fahrenheit, and if I had not stopped with my other teammates Kiel and Ariana on the Devo at the 3rd aide station I would have been in the rain.

I am also starting my cross season today and don't want to be too tired.
