Todays Bike Ride — Aug. 12, 2006

Just in case you don't know, I spent most of the week sick.  I didn't get to ride for 4 days.  When I rode on Friday, I felt very sluggish.  Wallace and I agreed we'd keep it simple, short, and just keep it easy this morning.

When I left the house, I felt terrible.  On roads where I was keeping up 18-20mph, today I was struggling to do 15-17mph.  I thought today would be horrible.  Was I bummed.  The temperature was great (perhaos a bit chilly).  Wallace met me and we started riding.  When we got to our turn point, he wanted to do more and I didn't have anything wrong with that.  We experimented with a new road.  This took us out into the country…it was excelent.

On the way back, I finally "hit the groove" so to speak.  I was feeling great and the miles were churning away under the tires.
