First ride...recover ride??

It's been three days since being in the saddle for 7 plus straight hours in the 8 hour. It was time to get a quick rip in before mowing the lawn that seems to have grown overnight.

In a word...the bike felt light...I forgot I cut the bars down a generous 1/4 inch each side and DID THAT EVER make a difference in handling. I also moved the seat a few mm forward and more parallel to ground (did that move during the race??). All in all the bike felt like a GLOVE. Just a quick one hour rip of the local trails and am craving a trip to a hardwood or Albion....will try and hook up with my tag partner for the Summer solstice in the near and arrange AT LEAST a rip around coburg...hmm maybe Durham forest.

Getting the eye from the wifey and kids crying..better hurry up...stats:

1 hr
81% avg; 95% max
In zone (65-85%) 47 min; above 13 min
714 Kcal
Distance 18 km....seems like a cakewalk after Saturdays 88 K!!!!
Avg spd 17.7; max 40.9

Plan...regular Tues/Thursday rides with a longer wknd ride....next event SUMMER SOLSTICE 24 HOUR TAG BABY!!!
