Some Catching Up
This past week took its toll with work, travel, and odd weather. However, it began with a little training time on the rollers on Monday, followed by a nice little 24-miler on Tuesday. The trip to DC was brutal though and killed 3 days and included one night with 2 hours sleep and one with about 4 hours. Friday and Saturday were spent trying to sleep and re-gain some energy. Today, though, ah yes, today – 53 miles; 3 hours 30 minutes, inclusive of everything imaginable – high cross- to head- winds the entire ride; a couple of stops; and, some stretching. The ride went well and felt good. I have no statistics at all since I had no cycling computer mounted. I actually liked the freedom of not being tethered to the electronics and just enjoying the riding.
