April 19th rides

On one stretch of Lowell Rd. I managed to stay at 22-23 for about 5 minutes, but that didn't make up for how miserable the ride felt overall. Managed to keep my average over 15, including the hill, but it's funny how my mental set changes from a "fun' commuter trip to a training ride that seems like work.

Good for you, Robyn! I think your quads were likely sore from your morning ride - we haven't been able to ride much here, you know .

I was driving home from work to go and ride yesterday when it started to RAIN in Concord! I ignored it, hoping it would go away, and it did . Since I was late, I had to TT into Lexington from Bedford to meet my teammate, but we managed an awesome ride. I finished with just over 32 miles at a fairly easy pace (trying to save up for the races this weekend).

It is SO NICE out now that I SHOULD be riding, but I need a recovery day before the weekend...

I had a fabulous riding day, not for distance so much as accomplishment. I rode four miles to a greasy spoon, locked up my bike and clomped through to a booth (drawing a lot of attention from codgers and businessmen) and started in on the all-you-can-eat salad bar and iced tea while I worked on a project. Eventually my husband showed up and we had lunch together, then I rode onto the post office, the library, and made a detour to a sandwich shop to see if it has reopened after remodeling. (It has not.)

It was just a glorious spring day and I caught a lot of people looking at me enviously as I zipped around on my bike.
