I set out this afternoon to ride the route I plan to use for Friday's club ride. I also took the opportunity to stop and mark the various turns along the way. However, I found myself fighting a head wind and my legs started talking to me very early in the ride. I rode 243 miles this week and I guess they, my legs, were simply trying to tell me they need a break. At the 15 mile mark I decided to turn back for home with the hopes that I would get to enjoy a nice tail wind. I did get most of the route marked and will drive the unmarked portion tomorrow after school. I think I'll stay off the bike for the next couple of days so that my legs can recover for I hope to ride a century on Sunday. In the end today I managed to complete 31 miles.
