Average HR 174! Nice!

My ride today: http://app.strava.com/rides/7726329 After work, I threw a pannier on my sport-touring bike and loaded it up with precautionary bad-weather gear, in case I got ambushed by a rainstorm. Then I ventured south of town about 35 miles to a rest stop along the highway, to see if they have the water faucet turned on (handy if I'm planning an out-&-back, I can refill at the rest stop). The faucet is on (yay) and it didn't rain (YAY!).

Average speed was 18.5mph, I'm sure the pannier's air drag took a bite out of that (plus I had headwind on the way out). Legs didn't feel that good, but oh well, that's why we train. 73 miles down, 1406 to go (Nuun challenge thing).

Random remarks:

1. it's not the most powerful headlight ever, but my dyno-powered Cyo N really comes into its element on a dark highway.
2. I can almost always find motivation by promising myself pizza afterwards
3. If I buy more Craft cycling shorts, I'm going up TWO sizes. These are a Large?!
