Saturday Swift Stroll to Starbucks

Opted for a leisurely pace today, seeing as it is Saturday, a beautiful morning, and a meetup w/a buddy for some coffee at a local Starbucks alongside the river. Hence the craptastic stats this morning, which is absolutely okay every now and again.

Interestingly, I also noticed if I drink a glass or two of wine the night before, my riding power is impacted. This morning I had less endurance and considerably lower power than throughout the week. It worked out fine, though, because of the leisurely stroll this morning.

Maybe tomorrow I will consider upping the ante, doing a full 50k, and pushing the limits of my old ass body!

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.
