March 26 rides

[makbike]

Woke to a gray, chilly, gloomy day and decided to skip the early club ride. Instead I headed into Louisville to shop at a cool art festival. Getting there was a challenge for the main roads were blocked due to the mini-marathon/marathon being held this morning. However, I finally made it to my destination and enjoyed the crafts/skills of others. It was a good shopping day for I picked up a gift for my mom for Mother's Day, my sister-in-law's birthday gift and my best friend's birthday gift. By the time I finished shopping the sun was out and the temperatures were climbing. Late this afternoon I pulled the bike out and went out for a spin. I logged 19.4 miles today and gosh my legs feel heavy. I hope they come to life tomorrow for I'll be participating in a century. It was a beautiful day to ride - temps in the upper 60's, blue, blue skies and a 10 mph wind out of the west. No complaints for it felt good to be outside!

Ummm, April 26 perhaps? :D

That said, I'm taking a deliberate day off, and am feeling restless/guilty/wrong not to be riding! But I've been doing 60-125 mile weekends for 1 1/2 months, and am feeling burned. And I have a metric next weekend, and a mid-week mountain ride. So...forced rest day! Instead, I bought 3 baby chicks to soon join my lone laying chicken. So cute!! Set up in an aquarium, heat lamp, etc... in the bathroom, secured from the cats. :)

No messy "forgetting what day it is" to worry about :D

I didn't ride today.....yet. Instead I went downtown, on the way I dropped off a large box of old towels and a garden hose at the local animal shelter. Volunteers said it was much appreciated. Then I went to the farmer market, got a few plants. I have managed to kill mint. That takes talent and skill :p so I'm trying another kind in a new location.

Also went to the LBS and got new shoes. Not that I need them so badly but I can't find mine .... they are packed .... somewhere .... who knows where. When I find them I'll have another pair of ATB.

My bad! Heck, I don't want time to go backwards for that would mean I would have more then 23 school days to work until my vacation begins.
