Ho ho, Maillotpois! Glad you posted here! It's totally fitting that you do so on the day of your first post-hospital workout.

I had such a bleah ride today. My goodness. I was tired, my legs were tired, I was slow. Did the last pre-STP ride, 23 miles. Such a contrast to last week, when we did 100 on the tandem, then 40 on the tandem two days later, then 54 on my Bianchi three days later, and felt great. Today I just dragged all the way. Good thing I'll have the next three days to get over it before we start the ride to Portland at 4 am Sat. And it would probably be good to get some full night sleeping in!

However, it WAS nice on the trail as usual. As long I get my dose of bald eagle and great blue heron sightings, I'm happy about that.
