I rully needed time Away from People so I rode out on the tree-laden to the bike shop where I'd dropped off my Trek (the faster hybrid) and switched out and rode into the 20 mph headwinds 'til I felt better (41.4 miles with a roaring average of 11.5 mph 'cause "recovery" parts are *really* slow in a headwind )
and got back and there was a present on my bicycle from the LBS guy and then I rode the Xtra back long enough to make a metric and an extra tenth of a mile out of it. Had to laugh at the idea of "me time" being a bike ride on a ghastly grey day (tho' it *was* 49 degrees)...
Gonna try to do the same today, except I'm not sure the bike shop's open... one way to find out. Takin' off soon!
