I wasn't feeling too energetic today, not feeling well. So I had a nice relaxing pace into work, still faster than anyone not on a road race bike, in fact I didn't come across anyone faster than me today, maybe they were already at the office).
But it was one of the best rides I had.
Not only had I not been on the bike since last Friday (6 days ago) which obviously contributed, but since I wasn't in a hurry, I had time to enjoy things, look around, and wonder if it was about the bike, or about the ride.
