Ride Description:
Certainly there was some uncertainty about the weather, but most assuredly I really didn't care because it was Saturday morning and I was ready to roll with the usual. However, I did push my start time closer to 7:45 am as it appeared to be a storm right over the starting point.
I wished I had went with my plan for an early start. When I arrived at the brewery there seemed to be over 200 cars with bike racks and a lot of people probably had already rolled out. The pavement didn't even look damp in many places. Duped by the weather report again and ended up finishing in hotter temperatures.
Nevertheless there is a crank that needs some spinning and spinning it did for more 4 hours. I felt pretty good in those first miles and yet I also knew that I had some good intervals through this past week that would cost me today. I could feel that bit of fatigue and toward the final 30 miles I really started to fizzle. It can be frustrating when this happens, but I must remember the purpose of this ride is not to set personal bests. It is an endurance ride or time on the saddle. The weekday intervals are my meat and potatoes of training. This was just an opportunity to get out in sort of a recreational mindset and enjoy the time rotating those cranks.
It was nice to see Margaret, Nancy, Peter, Tim and Greg in the parking lot at the end. Looks like they had a good group and a good day out as well.
