There are stages to a ride like this.
Man, my legs feel like crap, not sure I can do this.
In the groove finally, and my legs are great.
Just a little over halfway... That's all?
Keep Pedaling!
If I call Mrs. LAJ, I wonder if she can find me.
I got this.

A lot of good chain and rod action in Measuring America https://www.amazon.com/Measuring-America-United-Greatest-History/dp/0452284597/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_14_img_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=VNDR3WXXSC4SD8RYM2MG
I'm about to start reading Chaining Oregon. Looks like a good one, judging by the cover.

3 hours would be nice. This was a scheduled 4.5 hours, but there was some road construction that forced me to backtrack, and it went long. At least I was able to dilly-dally at the end. If there weren't stoplights, I would barely stop pedaling.

Just back from a quick 1 hour ride out to gorgeous Valley Forge park and back. While there I got passed by a serious cyclist who looked like the reincarnation of Laurent Fignon. Complete with dirty blond ponytail and no helmet. I still waved.
I got home and saved my ride but Strava app failed. Some stupid gateway error. Does that mean the whole thing was a dream?

I just love reading up on antiquated weights and measures.

One of my fondest memories was watching that TT with my father. Despite not being much of a cycling fan, he sat riveted and cheered along side me as LeMond did one of the rides of his life.

In other news, I'm becoming convinced that I could rob a bank and not be IDed as long as I wear my cycling kit. I was sipping on a post-ride latte in front of the LBS this morning when my cousin (in-law) walked by. "Hey Mike!" I called out. He turned and looked at me for about 3 seconds before I remembered that I was in my incognito kit. "It's Bill."
"OHHH! Hey, how you doing? Blah, blah, blah."

I guess I could tell you guys about it. I rode about 105 miles, 10000' climbing, average speed about 28 mph. Recovery ride.

Still healing, things are getting a little better every day.
I have a doctor's appointment on Wednesday, and may get release to modified duty work.
No bike, no interval training until stress test and echocardiogram, to clear me from possible heart damage from collision.
All this beautiful weather, and I can't ride.
