Ride Description:                                                            

If it wasn't from the joy of being on the bike I would say it was a frustrating day because I really wanted to open up the engine and yet I have no one to blame than myself for going to the Silver Comet on a sunny day that reached the low 60 (F) mark. The path was very crowded with all sorts of people in various activities and it was difficult to get any kind of decent pace established. Plus there was a whole lot of debris on the path from the storms yesterday morning.

Still love being on the bike though, but maybe it is time to move all my training/riding out to the brewery where I will have open roads.
