The Ride: Glad to feel as if my legs are coming back to the cycling world. Today felt more normal than the past couple of weeks and even though I kept the intensity down it seemed like the legs were ready to open up. Just a bit more and I think I will back on track. Especially encouraging after a rough day yesterday.
