Got out for a 17 mile this afternoon, shorter than yesterday but that was the plan. Resisted the urge to try and hammer it up hills, and tried to keep my heart rate a little lower than usual - am trying to develop the habit of considering the day after my longest ride of the week to be a recovery ride...if I develop the habit now then it will come naturally once my mileage starts increasing.

Had a couple of shifting issues, unsure what happened. The front chain didn't seem to want to shift a time or two, I wasn't cross-chaining and wasn't trying to shift under a load...beautiful ride though!
