Ride Description:

The path was very wet after rain moved through in the morning. I took the opportunity to squeeze in my typical 40 mile Sunday ride on the TT bike. With it being so wet there were very few people out and for the most part I had an open path. Unfortunately I was little too tired from yesterday's ride to really open it up. Me and the bike ended up very filthy, but it was still a great day to be out in February wearing a summer kit.

Ride Description:

Missed riding with Gary, Mike and Peter today, but I thought I would get out an hour earlier and hopefully beat the rain or get a little further north to the 40 mile turn point, but ended up turning at the 30 mile point because the rain was picking up to more than just a drizzle. Plus it was a bit darker and cars had their headlights on with windshield wipers going so I thought maybe for safety sake I would be better off turning and heading back. 

I was hoping to see the guys on the way back as they said they were doing my route and I thought maybe I could ride a few miles with them, but they must have done a different route. So I ended up with 20 miles shorter than I planned. Based on how I did solo in aero using the Felt B10, I feel like my fitness level is still down way more than I would like. Oh well....the only thing I can do is keep plugging away and hopefully start picking up the indoor intensity in the coming weeks.

Ride Description:

For as short as the route was today it was a very enjoyable ride with Mike and Gary. Since it was colder this morning we started a bit later, which put us all in a little more constrained time limit. We could have stretched it out for a few more miles, but each of us were content to keep it short and head on home. Great route, great company and nice quiet country roads.
