November 4 rides

[Owlie]

46 miles. (New record!) Gorgeous weather. I haven't been on the bike much, and I'd only set out to do ~24. I rode up to Xenia, so that would have been around 34. But no, curiosity got the better of me--on my way back, I turned off checked out a trail spur and "shortcut" to the LM trail north of Xenia. Or part of it. Let's put it this way: I've never been so glad to see a McDonald's in my life! Then I got slightly lost in Xenia coming back to the Creekside trail...I was somewhat overdressed (Midzero tights, jacket, wool base layer under a short-sleeve jersey, full-fingered gloves.) I spent most of the ride with my jacket unzipped, my jersey partly unzipped, and glove-less! My legs were happy, though. ("Happy" here is a relative term.)

I'm not all that sore now that I'm off the bike and showered and everything. I'm exhausted, though, and I'm supposed to be studying and doing laundry!
