Impromptu road ride with Dr. Fil today. Was feeling pretty tired today due to wknd's 8 hour and wakeboard/ski and typical road running with work. No excuses though..got to keep the momentuum up.
Fil had picked a route that would give us a solid 80 k. Heat was bearable and have made it ritual to stop in Cambden East to douse the head with cold water. Legs felt pretty freakin good..chalk it up to nutrition and the suffering in the heat over wknd.
All in all a great ride..85 k just under 3 hours and average speed of 30 k/hr. Avg Heart rate was 145 with a max of 177. Happy with that ;)
Plan..Last ride with Fil on Friday as he heads back to the motherland for a month....will revell in the fact that I will rip his legs off when he gets back ;) What comes around goes around.
On vacation starting Sunday and bringing bike (haven't decided which one yet) with to get some riding in the Adirondaks..bringing the kids to Old Forge Water Safari in New York...apparently 100 miles of mountain and should also be good for road as well....decisions decisions....what my wife has already decided is that my rides will be "early" as the water park opens at 9....I think I can adapt to this ;)
