The Ride: It feels like months since I have been able to ride with my buddies, Jamie and Diane. They also invited Dan Thorton (owner of FreeFlite) to ride with us today. The three of them were very gracious to ride at a calmer pace for me because they have the ability to open up the turbos if they want, but today they took it easy on me for the most part. We still had some spirited sections and why not on flat rural roads? The roads we were on today just make you want to go fast. Unfortunately I had to take it easy because the test (*see note below) this past Wednesday took a good bit out of me and I still had not recovered enough.
We followed the route preloaded in my Garmin 705 until the store stop, but after that Diane and Jamie took us on a different route back and it was a pleasant change. At mile 53 I split from the three and took the marked route back and they went for a few more miles.
Good amount of miles, good pace, great weather for June, great rural roads.
And the best of all another very pleasant day riding with my cycling buddies.
*My right upper inner quadriceps felt as if it was slightly strained in the FT test the other day. I felt a small twinge in the leg when I did one of the sprint warm ups from a track stand position. Today I felt it as I went over 300 watts on some of the climbs, but did not feel it on the flats, downhills or when the watts were in the low 200 or below. From about mile 40 to the end I tried not to stand and exert too much on some of the small hills and instead stay seated and spin lighter. This put me behind the group a little bit on each hill, but they were gracious to slow down and let me catch up.
