Great ride today, finally hauled myself out of bed early enough (almost) to make my 20 mile ride. I left about 15 minutes later than I wanted to, and the WHOLE ride felt sluggish and slow, but the ride time on the computer showed 1 hour 26 minutes when I pulled up to the building. That's pretty standard for that ride, even when it feels fast. I ended up about 20 minutes late for work, but no one yelled at me. If i'ld left on time it would have been 5 so :-)
Really glad I got up sort of early enough, and then bit the bullet and did it, much better views on this ride than my normal one. And as i'm riding more, i find it takes me 10 miles or so to really warm up and start spinning well. I'm doing the 20 mile route back too, so hopefully the weather won't be to bad :-) winds are expected, but from the south...so should be a tail wind :-)
