April 21 rides

Had a lovely 34 mile ride today - It was beautiful out. I sang Hey Jude. Sometimes I'm glad I don't have a riding buddy! I was worried I was dressed a little too warmly but it worked out just fine! I got pretty tired towards the end, and was cycling against the wind, but I enjoyed it even though my speed was sloooow! I was also just trying out a new saddle - a specialized jett - and it's fantastic. I love it.

Nice - I had to work today but was able to sneak out at lunch for a quick 16.

I commuted today even though I had a migraine. I felt surprisingly good on the bike in, but pretty bad as soon as I stopped. Luckily, it wasn't a full blown one. On a scale of 1-10, it was about a 6 (no blind spots, lightening bolts, or or loss of speech). I felt a little nauseous, and by the end of the day my head was throbbing. I still rode back, and again felt good on the bike, except every pothole really hurt my head. Standing over the bumps helped. I think riding helped keep it from becoming a 10.

29 easy pace miles. The tailwind at the end was much appreciated. I might have called for a ride if I had a headwind.

I squeezed in a ride between work and dinner with a colleague. It was a great day to ride. I had orginally planned to work late to check up all the projects that I still have to grade but decided it was too nice a day to spend working in my classroom. I could literally hear my bike calling me home. So home I dashed, quickly changed and off I went. I tried a new route today - a nice mix of hills and flats; it came in just short of 20 miles. It took me through some lovely countryside and oh is it pretty now with the trees in bloom. I had a great time and it sure was a lot more fun than grading projects.
