I was hoping for an easy ride this morning because my legs have been sore lately, somehow I seem to have strained my calf muscles. No such luck. Altho temperatures were very mild in low 60s, I had a stiff headwind all the way to work and the humidity was way up. I was drenched in sweat by the time I got to work, even tho my average speed was about 1 mph slower than usual. My goal for my first 5-day commute week in quite a while is starting to look less certain because my legs are telling me to take a rest day. My commute route is so hilly and long that it is hard to just ride at a recovery pace, particularly when I'm fighting headwinds.
