I had big plans for a 20 mile ride after work today but my legs quickly let me know they were not the least bit interested in these plans. My fast 70 mile ride yesterday took a lot out of my legs and there were very tired and heavy this afternoon. I decided to ride out the main road (6 miles) and make a determination at that point - turn around or keep going. The ride out was awful, tired legs and a stiff headwind - a nasty combination. It took everything I had not to turn around at 2, 3, 4 miles and head back to school but I kept going. I was never so glad to see the intersection I was shooting for and I made the ride into an out and back at that point. Now the ride back was wonderful for I had a stiff tailwind pushing me back to my car. My massage this evening is going to be well deserved and my legs are going to appreciate the attention they get!
