Saturday I needed to take the day off as my quads were sore from the rides + strength training the previous two days. Bleh. It was beautiful and I almost felt guilty for not riding but don't intend any over-use injuries THIS year

Yesterday I rode with two friends - it has been about a year since we last rode together. We rode for 2 hours yesterday, and while we weren't riding next to/in line with each other we did keep each other in sight. We would stop sometimes to regroup and head out again. Kind of a combination of getting our own ride in while riding with each other all at the same time, especially since the three of us are quite different where speed is concerned.

We didn't cover the miles I am accustomed to in that time period, but that was fine. We were out in the corn fields without any wind at all, it wasn't too hot, no dogs in sight or sound, and it was a fine afternoon. They took me riding roads I've not ridden before and I rode over 3 railroad tracks without falling over - woot! (I rarely ever see RR tracks so don't have much experience with them)
