Ride Description:

Bit of a tough day and it wasn't due to the winds coming from Hurricane Sandy. I suppose it was due to a few good days of training indoors. I thought that this may happen as I was laying bed last night and could feel the soreness in my hips and hamstrings. Good thing I did not take Mike up on the offer for a big Fall Colors ride in Summerville, Georgia. I wanted to go, but after the first few minutes on the road today I am really glad I did not make that hour drive just to get dropped in the first minutes. Each time the watts approached 200 my hamstrings would tighten up. They were already feeling knotted up as it was.

I ended up cutting my miles short today and backed off the pressure even more and enjoyed spinning. The wind was tough, but not nearly as discomforting as my legs felt.

Very few cyclists parked at the brewery and maybe just a few more parked as the Sosebee Bike Park. I did get to see Neal at the end of the ride.
