Fil and I chose to ride 80 k of road today regardless of the stupid wind that was pushing us to the ground for 40 k of it. The sun was warm and I hadn't been riding since SUNDAY!?!?!? Literally haven't done any cardio since then as I have been monitoring a potential cold. Enough was enough though and off we went.
This is when things got weird....I'm used to the occasional yardbird hollering out of their car..OR..not moving over an inch as they pass, even without oncoming traffic...but today was different. The first indication was this dude...being polite here...full on extending his middle finger as he drove towards us....for the ENTIRE TIME....strange....three other hollerers and one near miss tell me it's time to get off the ashphalt and back into the woods. Hacking up a pretty good lung and feeling more tire than usual...confirmed...this ain't alergies...it's a summer cold...stats:
Polar: 2 hr 48 min
78.5 km
27.9 avg spd...54.8 max
avg CAD 89...max 107
Timex:2 hr 56 min....gel break and short river gaze..
avg hr=152....max 184
2658 Calories....yup..that's why I'm hungry
Plan..off to the big smoke tomorrow for a meeting and stop along route home to some spots for meet/greet..cottage on weekend....wife yelling at me...kids ripping the house apart.
Hope to mountain ride sunday and most of next week ;)
