December 6 Wed. Rides

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

Yeah well I got really sick this afternoon after my freezing morning ride. Had to go to bed all day. Serves me right. Now i'll be laid up for days probably, if it's anything like how it has hit DH. Like a freight train

Rode my single today for the first time in weeks. And, Mimi, I found that I had WAY overdressed---I had to stop within five miles and take off my Ibex top and just use arm warmers and the usual soccer jersey. Changed my "cold" gloves for regular light ones. Wished I had brought my light headband instead of my fleece one (from my Oct. SS, who thoughtfully picked as close to celeste as she could find--got pretty close too, and the headband feels great, by the way!). It was BEAUTIFUL, a great day to ride on the river trail. But it did feel a little like a taffy pull, with my legs as the taffy, of course. OOOF. We've done several tandem rides (30-50 miles each) over the last 6 weeks, but it just ain't the same as riding your single. But boy, did it feel good to be back out on that bike.

Glad to hear it was a great day for many of us!

I also rode my road bike today, for the first time in over a month. I have scaled back my riding to increase my running volume and to re-build excitement about riding. It totally worked! I just rode 27km with a friend in the afternoon, but it was a great one, decent weather, sunny, some wind which always seemed to be a tail one. Didn't really even need the fenders.

Made me excited about a longer ride this weekend! Yooohoo!
