Weekend Rides?

[Catrin]

This morning I had planned a 20 mile ride to my gym (from my bike store), attend an hour long advanced Bosu class, then ride the 20 miles back to my car. Yesterday on an easy mountain bike trail my back wheel hit some deep dust wrong and I went down - bike and I are fine except my bad knee is a bit sore from the fall and I had lost some skin from two sides of that knee.

As much as I wanted to do that 40 mile ride, I decided it probably wasn't a really good idea - between the sore knee and the Bosu class - the instructor is HARD. So I rode 13 miles to the gym, and took a 15 mile route home afterwards. In those last couple of miles I was very thankful that I didn't have to ride another 10-12 miles to get to my car...the knee feels better than when I started though, I was just running out of energy as I got closer to home. The temps were rising and the Bosu class was hard, fun, but hard.

Great ride though, and a great Bosu workout (which also featured kettlebells on the Bosu ball - fun!)

Kubla, glad you were able to get out and enjoy the weather! Whatever our distances, they are accomplishments for us so never feel silly about posting them. You are out there riding your bike and enjoying the world around you - that is the part that matters! Sometimes I feel the same way about the the distances I ride...
