    Thumbs up how far did I ride today

    This is my second ride in two days after two months off of the bike because of life issues. I am exploring the ways in and out of the new neighborhood although I am familiar with a lot of the routes once I get about 5 miles out. I took a wrong turn on the way out and didn't manage to find the one end of Katy Fulshear road, so I went to where it came out on a major highway and tried the reverse on the way home. Good plan except that after a couple of miles it turned into gravel. I played little engine that could for about a mile and then decided I would play little engine who couldn't and go back the way I came before I fell and gave myself terminal road rash.

    Today's stats 24 miles in 1:30. Not specatcular distance for me but a good break in ride considering that the feels like temp was 108 and the humidity is in the 80%. I love leaving puddles on the floor as I walk around the garage prepping my bike for the next ride.

    Got lucky today. There were thunderstorms off and on all day today. However, the weather cleared up just in time for the shop ride. Got in 25 recovery paced miles which is just what the doctor ordered for today. Great ride!

    I went mountain biking, about 9.4 miles of singletrack. See that makes your number look just fine.

    My bike's at the shop. I went on a six-mile walk yesterday, but it's been really hot and humid of late. Luckily, it's raining, and I should hopefully have my bike back in a few days.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    170 miles of a double century I really had no business riding because I haven't done one in 3 years and am (for me) pretty out of shape. I had a few of the usual low moments, but it was fun and I was able to help a friend get her CA Triple Crown (3 doubles in a year).

    I don't know how long it took me other than "too long".
