Spent most of first half of ride chatting with JimW. Took a turn on Peterson in the lead. Then dropped to tail-end-Charlie. With about six miles to go, as we were on Old Weaver Trail climbing from the lake up to New Light, 12-year-old Tim from Stovall ran out of gas and drifted dangerously across the lane to the double yellow. JimW and I shepharded the youngster in from there - one leading and the other usually riding alongside. Some loss of pace as a result.
