My weekend ride was actually yesterday. I went out for a 65 mile solo (as always, really) ride. The temp was in the mid 70's, no wind except for the last 30-45 min. of it, and cloudy skies. It felt so nice for a change, especially with the lack of wind. It felt like I was going a little faster than I normally ride until I stop for a water reload at mile 45 and looked at the computer. I was going 1.5 mph faster than usual! The next 20 mile were with a little head wind but not bad, some rain, and about 12 miles of very rough and crappy roads. I averaged my usual speed for the last 20 miles, but when I got home I still was averaging about 1 mph faster than usual. I was a little tired at the end. I still need to work on keeping up with the drinking and eating even when I am feeling good and going faster. I tend to slack off then. Overall, I would say it was a very good ride.
Next weekend I am doing a century in Miami.
I see your doing the speedway century. Ill be out there doing the 62 mile ride.
