November 26 Thanksgiving Rides

[Selkie]

DH and I woke up bright and early, expecting to ride the N2 to Poolesville today. A good "tummy emptier" as a friend said, to prepare for the holiday. But, our 3 days of rain had ended with a dense fog advisory this morning. Wet roads. Low visibility. Every traffic camera we checked was socked in with fog. Hmmmmm....maybe a later ride would be good. But...we ended up giving in to riding the rollers. I added some time on the rowing machine and ski machine and some free weights add as an added measure.
Happy Thanksgiving, all.

7 - I attempted to ride in that pea soup.... let the house before sunrise and could not see (despite my L&M super bright headlight--tried low, medium, high beam and nothing cut through it). I was getting soaked but more importantly, it was deadly dangerous particularly with the wet pavement & leaves. I abandoned the ride after about 12 miles and came home for some Have Mercy, The Sequel on my trainer!

It's now after 16:00 and still a bit soupy. So much for the predicted sunshine that would burn off the fog. And the final indignity---MORE RAIN predicted for tonite, then it's turning cold.

I'm planning to spend a long session in the pool tomorrow morning and do a recovery session with Coach Troy (ABB VI is becoming a favorite). Post-Thanksgiving Brick Workout. I did lots of carbo loading, as I loooove mashed potatoes!!!! And I had three slices of TE pi (new shorts! saved a bundle)

Hope everyone had a great T'giving and those of you who could ride outside, I hope your rides were excellent. Mimi, congrats on meeting your goal. I hope you celebrated w/one of those donuts.
