Two fast rides yesterday...14.2 mph average on the 8 mile non-stop trail route plus lots of stairs at work and carrying equipment up and down stairs at a TV commercial shoot. Still I felt great and even this morning.
But I took the shortest 5.8 mile route this morning and I took it easy. Not so many steps at work. Then the ride home. 65F but a strong, unrelenting head wind from the east. I took the shortest route again but averaged only 10.1 mph... that's what i do in the snow... plus it's slightly .
The legs feel a a little more tired like i expeced yesterday.... and i was exhausted... thought i might bonk despite trying to take it easy.
The wife had prepared tamales with green chili...it really hit the spot.
I want to ride tomorrow since I'm heading out of town Thurs...but if I don't feel really peppy I'll pass.
