I had ridden myself in to a hole and the miles were compounded by heat and hay fever. I thought I was going to have to chain my bike up if I didn't change my ways. I finally took Sunday off and then rode a club ride with slow riders on Monday. Legs felt better on Tuesday. Had a forced day off yesterday for doc appointments. Got up this morning to 55-60º temps and light winds and my legs were golden. Rode with my retired racer buddies and was even dropping the skinny guys on the short punchy hills.
Taking another day off, ride 35-40 on Saturday and then heading for Door County next week and if my 70 year old legs feel fresh, it may be a 275 mile week so leaderboard watchers should plan ahead.
