Did anyone feel up to a spin today?
I finally dusted off the Roubaix and hit the road after being off for 2 1/2 weeks.Got kind of a late start at 9:30 and thought well it's not so hot. I'll ride 30 miles or so. After all, it's only 91 F. Wrong! By the time I was finishing the last 12 miles it was 95 F and my speed fizzled out.
Then I got hot and had one of those internal dialogues and got into a mood.

I got to the car, loaded the bike, and headed for Sonic to get a big diet cherry limeade and a regular size fried ice cream Blast. The Blast was going to be split with the dogs because I knew they had to be hot too, right?
Anyway, I averaged 18 mph the first half, 12.5 the return trip.
Think I'll stay inside and read my mags.
