I forced myself, but I did do a 26 mile group ride today, despite it being 48 degrees and spritzing when I left to drive to the start. It's just a bit too far for me to ride to the starting place we had today (14 miles), when the weather is not great, but it didn't rain, the group was compatible, and it was on familiar roads in Bedford, Westford, and Carlisle. A couple of leaders from AMC, who don't usually come on this ride were there, so that was nice.
The lunch was at an Indian restaurant, which I passed on. I was starving, but eating that is an automatic 5 pounds for me. Had a nice lunch when I got home, and now, finally, after 2 phone calls, and other stuff, I am ready to shower.
