I rode 15.2 miles this morning, while DH went to the Minute Clinic to make sure his cold is nothing more than a cold. I did my early AM route in the full daylight for the first time. I don't usually go out riding in Concord on Sunday mornings, because there are so many cyclists, it's not always peaceful. I rode to Concord center, up Nashawtuc Hill and then back down, out Thoreau St., and back around a loop past the cemetery where all the famous authors are buried, and back home. It was humid, and I had that little asthma thing again for a bit, but I am still not sure it's that, as I was fine after the first 20 minutes, and I was riding fast for me. I am also a bit under the weather, so I think a combination of humidity, allergies, going fast without too much of a warm up, contributes to this. I purposely went slow up Nashawtuc, which made my average much slower than I thought it would be. A bunch of really fast dudes passed me, but when I'm going 18-20, I don't care. I dropped one woman, which is enough to make me feel good.
I'm glad I went, as we got back from Father's Day brunch in Boston about 2 hour ago, and are headed out to friends' for dinner!

I didn't get outI had a complex migraine and woke up with no feeling in my right hand so I didn't ride. Blargh.
Glad to hear you all got rides in, though. That gorge ride looks beautiful![]()

Saving for the next one...
I managed 51 miles yesterday on the rolling hills of the west metro countryside. An absolutely gorgeous day, although I am suffering through a bad summer cold and at times, I felt like my legs were on autopilot and my head was just along for the ride but was not "there" for the ride.
