Easy commute this morning. My legs are burned up, as I gave it 100% yesterday, with:
  • Usual 4 miles' worth of commuting, but I took the eFatty
  • 9 mile ride at lunch to run the battery down; I don't anticipate riding it as much in the warmer weather. (looks like we're about the same as Folsom, CA right now!)
  • 35 mile club ride
At the club ride, the only one who showed up was a stronger rider, as we had a 23 mph wind gusting to 40 and it was only in the 40s temperature range. (my club are mostly fair weather riders) Since he was stronger and I'm technically the ride leader, I gave it 100% to make sure he had a good workout. (burned over 1700 calories in just over 2 hours) I won't go into the details of that ride, since this is about commuting, but I will say that today, I took the urban commuter eBike this morning with no shame. Garmin tells me it will take 4 days of no- or lighter-riding before my legs are ready for a tough one again.
