Most of my bike riding this summer has been commuting. I had not been doing much regular road riding. Yesterday I dusted off my road bike and did a 40 mile ride with lots of climbing and I pushed myself harder than I usually do. After the ride I took a 2 hour nap and then went to bed at 9pm. I was tired.
But I rode to work this morning as usual. A bit slowly. I will go out for my 1 mile run on my break today and do my long route (with 1/2 mile hill climb) commute home.
On the way to work I rode past a dead little kitty that had been hit by a car, lying in the middle of the road.
Had to stop and move his little body off the roadway into the brush. Otherwise it would be turned into a kitty pancake that I'd have to ride by everyday for the next couple of weeks.
