September Rides

I did my original loop ride, 15.2 miles this morning, before it got too hot. It was 78 out, but about 80% humidity. Thankfully, a breeze, too.
So, I had about 2 weeks of feeling good, and after my trip to Westport Saturday, my allergies and stomach started acting up, and then my weird muscle aches start. Funny, my legs still feel strong, but this ride, although faster than I planned, didn't really feel great. I've also not been sleeping, so if I don't exercise, that won't get solved. I plan to rest again tomorrow, although if I wake up early enough, and feel OK, I might do a dawn ride. With no shower at work, commuting in these temperatures is not really fun, and it's only 10 miles round trip. I can ride more than that if I go out at 5 AM. Probably next longer ride wiill be Saturday, as weather Friday looks crappy.

Had a really nice 25 mile ride today, when we had to be out of our house for the open house. We basically did one of our flatter routes, and then rode back past our turn off for home and went to have lunch at Ferns, in Carlisle and then rode home. It was cool and rainy in the morning, was wearing arm warmers for the first 6 miles. Then the sun came out. Legs felt good and my average was up there, for a supposedly slow ride.
Going to rain tomorrow. Boo.

Warm and sunny today. To celebrate our anniversary (which was yesterday), wer rode 50+miles on rural roads in southwest WA, out the front door. It was a nice mix of hilly and not so hilly. Absolutely beautiful country side, lots of farms. We are very fortunate to have such great cycling so close to home. Legs are tired!
