25 mile breakfast ride. I ate a tiny bowl of plain yogurt and fruit, with half of a Luna bar and we headed out to Nancy's cafe at the Minuteman Airfield in Stow. 90 degrees was predicted, but at 8:40 AM, it was still 60, so put my bolero and wind vest over my short sleeved jersey. Took a nice slow-ish ride there, about 10.5 miles, with one little hill near the beginning. The cafe was busy, but we got seated and greeted personally, since we used to go here a lot when it was only 3 miles from home. Another couple who had ridden there were seated by us, but they told us that we were "professionals," since we had all of the "fancy gear." I responded that they were doing more than 99.9% of the people around and were "real cyclists," too. I was a little worried about eating a hearty breakfast and then having to ride home, so I opted for one apple cinamon pancake, with a slice of ham. Had to go easy on the coffee, too.
When we headed back, the temperature had risen considerably, the sun was out, and the humidity pretty awful. We took a longer way home (but not the longest) and got home well before it got really brutal out. It was nice to have the rest of the day free, although I always feel a little lost if I don't have some physical activity to take up my whole day! My afternoon consisted of going to Dairy Joy and having a nice soft serve cone with chocolate dip.
