    Had a strange ride yesterday. I had to take a decongestant around 3:30 am, and I was still groggy when I headed out around 7:00. For the first half of the ride, I felt like my body was sort of disconnected--it was working like a machine, but I couldn't really feel it. Nice to know that my body has keyed into cycling, though. And it left my brain free to focus on staying focused.

    Oh, and it's hot here. Summer has arrived.

    Hi all - newbie here and was hoping someone would start a Sunday ride thread...or I'd start one

    I've been down for a week trying to speed through a cold and couldn't take it anymore. Went on a short ride, 12.5m but it took me an hour!! Guess my body was still feeling the cold because I just couldn't move. It was in the mid-30's and sunny, really an ideal day for a ride.

    When I got home I passed out for about an hour but felt fine after the nap, thankfully. This is my second cold this season. The last one took nearly 6 weeks to be out of my body and I think the fact that I kept biking and running through it had a lot to do with it dragging on for so long.

    And so it begins....

    DH and I had the bag packed to head to the LBS for the sunday a.m. shop ride. But we both wimped out.....DH said "I don't mind being a slug today." So....he patched a hole in the ceiling with some sheetrock putty, and I did my "Sweating Buckets" Spinerval DVD while on the rollers. Then we borrowed a friend's rug shampooer and cleaned carpets. Woohoo! Fun stuff, I tell ya!

    Lisa- I noticed you are only 60 something miles ahead of me. There is hope I can catch you and pass you before the end of the year.
