Swift Saturday Saddling

I could not be happier with the climate today. There was outstanding post-rain Saturday morning weather, perfect for a nice comfy ride, especially when I was feeling really motivated to ride ride and ride.

During the upstream leg of the ride there was little to no wind, but downstream on the return it was all headwinds all the way. The entire. ride. back. Nevertheless, the wind felt wonderful and made the temperature easier to deal with as it was starting to get fairly warm and humid.

Since I had to take Friday off as a recovery day due to non-stop rain, my legs felt really good today. I did not feel like I lost endurance or motivations, nor did I tire out as quick as other days. What I really need to do is keep pumping out these daily 50k’s to build that endurance, and take it to the next level.

Now that I got a nice ride out of the way, it is time to go enjoy the weekend💪🏼😊

Wickedly Wet Wednesday

The post-rain weather today resulted in an exceptionally mild and exceedingly comfortable temperature this morning, almost to the point where I contemplated wearing a shirt with some sleeves. I quickly erased that nonsensical thought from my nonsensical brain and rushed out the door, only to find it was lightly drizzling. I walked down the steps to the street and pondered whether I should ride or just call it quits. The sky looked like hell was about to descend upon the city, so maybe a ride was not the wisest thing to do. But a wise man I am not, and I decided a ride, even a wet one, would be better than no ride at all.

Monday Morning Motivational Meditation

It felt a bit peculiar riding for a second time in less than twenty-four hours, not really providing any convincing amount of recovery time for my body, but the weather was too comfortable to pass up. After awaking at 4:15am, for a split second I considered heading back in bed and using the recovery time as an excuse for not heading out. But I quickly brushed that nonsense aside and commenced my pre-ride ritual.
