    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 out I 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

    Did 14.1 with people from work before work (with no breakfast!), then rode 20.2 after work with a coworker.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    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.
