As usual, I bagged the group ride today. I have to come to look forward to Wed. morning as a Saturday morning, even though I have to work later.
I just came back from a little solo 15.6 mile ride, which I must say, was not one of my best. This is my go to route when I have more than 30 to 45 minutes. So, first, I dressed wrong. It was cloudy and 49 when I left, but windy. I knew it was getting warmer, but didn't realize how warm. Then the sun came out. And I didn't hear that the winds were sustained and about 15 mph, gusting to about 20. Things just didn't align today, but I got out there, not matter how sluggishly, with an average about the same as my metric on Saturday! Am chalking it up to the wind and being hot. And, I wanted to finish so badly, that I got home with just 4 miles left to hit 2K. This, in itself is depressing, since it's my lowest number of miles in years, but, hey, I'm still out there .
