First ride back on the road bike after a few weeks with the road bike down for maintenance. I managed to break three rear wheels in one month.
70 miles Saturday. Planned to do a century but made the mistake of including some hill repeats during the first 40 miles. Went home to eat and massage my neck and legs, then went out again and realized after 20 miles the tank was empty, went home. Still my longest ride this year, although with a long break midway.
15 miles Sunday. Supposedly a "recovery ride." For me, recovery rides are nonsense. I either do them at home on the trainer while watching TV, or take a walk instead. In my area there isn't enough flat terrain without headwinds for an "easy" ride. So tired I had a recovery nap, which is what I should have done in the first place. But it was good to get out in the sun for an hour.
Next time I tackle a full century I'll try to remember to skip the hill repeats and sprints and just ride a more suitable steady pace.
