Recently, I have begun to do rides with a group of guys who ride professionally 老练地. The first day, I finished the ride with great 16 , though I tried hard to keep up with one guy for most the ways. To my 17 , I did a little better the second time. I decided to work harder to 18 . Yesterday, I 19 so much on my ride that I missed the short route 路线 I usually take; 20 , I stayed on the long route.
