Tough ride last night. It's at least he 3rd Monday in a row with sustained winds over 15 mph and higher gusts. It shouldn't affect whether I ride or not, just my average pace. So I burned up my legs for 35 miles. That's not a commute, but it means I'll commute by eBike in Zone 2 for probably the rest of the week so the legs can recover properly. (and hopefully grow in circumference!)
Later in the spring when winds subside and it gets warmer, some riders will come out feeling really weak. Others will be strong, but unfulfilled, as they've been in their pain cave all winter and early spring instead of getting some outdoorphins.
I took the morning off today; court this morning, then an eye exam, then work: 6 miles. 2 miles home later. I wouldn't have ridden today if I didn't have an eBike. Just savin' gas and keeping active.
