A perfect situation.....feeling pretty lethargic today and yesterday...haven't ridden since Friday and feeling edgy as a result. Got a text from Chris (my Solstice tag team partner) that he finished a 60 k ride yesterday and was coming in from Belleville to ride today rain or shine...that's all i needed.
Still...got home from work and felt more like cracking a beer and tipping a few than slinging a leg over the stallion. Mid back and left shoulder KILLING me from assembling that trampoline over the weekend...so trusty advill bottle it was (2 tablets), and filled up my water bottles with nestea...just put an order in for Cafe Latte Perpetuum WITH caffeine and some recoverite but won't be in till next week, so will make do with simple sugars.
Now for the ride...we decided to take the scenic route from my garage to trailhead through Lemoine's point and when we got to trailhead, noted three cars (minimal) that signified few dog walkers on north end...so a little variety and some rock gardens to warm up the core :). Chris is riding a 29'r hardtail with an 80 ml fork..given the terrain, was soaking it up, but the GIANT...KILLED it..legs were feeling fresh and felt like I could spin all night. Came across a couple riders, expressed my usual concern, when prompted, about my "ban"....so silly, from some of the local trails and finished a 37 K ride, topped it off with a beer and dinner that was waiting compliments of the wifey...love that woman..stats are messed as HR monitor acting wacky again...either chest hair interference :) or need to replace the cs battery as well?!?!?
36.6 km
avg spd 15.7; max 45.9
ride time 2 hr: 19 min
Plan...road ride thursday...60 k or so..easy spinning, Recruited my 24 partner to cottage for some good eats, drinks and a 3-4 hour saturday ride on Cataraqui trail....next week...mellow to enable body to prep for sufferring ;)
