Ride Description:                                                            

This is my last day for the holiday vacation time so I wanted to get in at least one more outside ride before going back to work and back to the structured indoor training. Not a real pretty day out, but getting out on the bike was still enjoyable. Easy going pace and lower intensity with the coming week in mind and reserving to up the intensity this coming week.

At the end of the ride it was a pleasure meeting another avid cyclist, David Justice and a regular at the Silver Comet path. He informed me that the path will shut down starting this coming week and the path maintenance will last at least three months. I guess I will need to keep this in mind and probably do all my weekend rides out at the brewery through the winter.
