In And Out

Extra Credit

Got out and got my usual Monday recovery ride in, then I stopped over at Penny's and we hit the trails, for a few more miles. Weather sure has improved. 37/16.5

I Like Sundays

Hey, it was a little on the cool side this morning. It even had me thinking about a long-sleeved base layer. The sky had that royal blue, instead of hazy humid, look to it, and it was invigorating!
A solo effort, but it was just a glorious day. 48/17.0

Won't Stop


Still dealing with the remnants of a summer cold, but, with the help of some good friends, I got a very nice Saturday ride in. Bottom line is I felt better today than I have all week. I feel good that, even with a cold, I've gotten in my typical miles for a week.
Wind was a little more of an issue than I expected, but the temps were perfect. I mentioned to Amy how rare it's been to pass by a bank sign that showed a temp in the 60s. It felt great.
Lots of cyclists out today as we were on part of the Tour de Tonka route. We were heading in the opposite direction, so it wasn't too big of a problem. We did get cheered on by some high school cheerleaders, and even had some cops wave us through a couple of intersections. I could use more of that on all of my rides.
Good friends, good ride. Great to ride with Amy, like always. 88/18.9

Art Fair Friday

Actually got on my bike on a Friday...it's been awhile. Still fightin' that stupid summer cold, but wanted to get out and do a quick tour of the Uptown Art Fair. I'll be over there again tomorrow with Penny. 2/??

It's All About The Art

It Makes You Feel Better


Cold is getting juicy. Yeah, I know you wanted to know that. I still got out for a good ride, though. It was nice out, with very little wind. Good week of riding, got in some good miles, but felt like crap all week. Just for the record, I'd of felt even worse if I hadn't gotten out on the bike. 25/17.7

Good News Bad News

The good news; I'm not burned out.
The bad news; I'm sick.
Woke up this morning with a sore throat. Actually, in a weird way, I consider being sick better news than being burned out.
Not feeling so bad that I can't ride, which is more good news. Sleep and fluids. 32/17.0
