Fil was jonesin for a road ride...wind was absolutely CRAZY from South East, usual route was being seriously massaged into some new pavement by a monsterous crew of heavy equipment.
Met Fil at his place and managed to get out just after 5 pm. Of course, this is Tuesday and groups of large and small were passing us as I was removing the bike from rack and getting my shit together. Initially it didn't bother me...just an easy spin...fil was looking tired. Nope..from the get go and a change in course to fly with a tail wind we were FLYING down highway 15...before we knew it we were at our turnaround, Joyceville road, headed INTO wind and was really surprised how much gas we had with QUICK sessions of pacelining. Of course, forgot my computer....decided to take Fil on a bit of a tour to lengthen the ride and found ourself back on Highyway number two with FRESH ashphalt....sweet.....full on hammering into a rather strange headwind...it should have sucked our legs dry but we were big ringing climbs and ACCELERATING while TALKING about how this SHOULDN't be so easy.
End result......can't explain why and how we hammered for two solid hours...forgot heartrate/computer....stats would have been impressive...yet again...maybe it's time to leave the computer at home for now on :)..
