I don't know where it came from but I had the juice this morning! Didn't get as much sleep last night as I should have so I was super sleepy when I met my buddy at the Amer. Riv. bike trail. Normally we'd spin at 18-19mph but for some reason we just kept going faster and faster. At about the 3/4 mark, John says "hey, I think we can average 20 if we keep this up."

We maxed out at 26.0 mph and averaged 20.2 mph for the 24mi. At one point I look back and I realize that we've picked up a mini-peleton of 5 guys and I'm pulling the train. I was just cranking! It was awesome.

Best commute ever (even though I'm not sure it's strictly a commute since I have to ride past my office to reach the trail and then ride back into work...)
