Implication being it should be controlled and not overly fast. I had some doubts that this would be the case, and I was correct. I wouldn\u2019t say the ride was hard. Felt pretty easy to me actually. I rolled off the front on Park Place without a full investment. The Murphy Road railroat sprint had a slow rollout and just too many bodies to go around. I moved from the back to near the front. After we did Crash Hill, John started moving up after we began the false flat rise. I followed him up and then put in my effort. It can get lonely in the dark when riding alone on Renner! Very lonely! If I hadn\u2019t put in that effort I would have felt like I didn\u2019t do any work on the ride.\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d3o5xota0a1fcr.cloudfront.net\/v6\/maps\/YQQIVZMN2TBESY2BB5BPWCUF7MBQEZBC4SNNNVNX36NN2ZALTHDHQOPHDB7R5XD2MIUZMEU3SJMMDFJJKS6T72M7S4CJSH27\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/2024\/02\/08\/texas-bicycling-news-for-february-8-2024\/\"><span class=\"more-msg\">Continue reading &rarr;<\/span><\/a>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-64581","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bicycling-news"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p4tok-gND","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64581","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=64581"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64581\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":64582,"href":"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64581\/revisions\/64582"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64581"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=64581"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=64581"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
