It was actually quite a nice day today — maybe a bit “humid,” but temps up to the 50s and not bad winds to start it out. Headed SW and then turned back to get the wind for the last half of the ride. A decent day.
But a beatdown nonetheless. I’ve been doing a lot of physical things lately that have left me feeling my age for some reason. And I’ve also been working on the detox, so my fuel is a bit off right now (and maybe that’s why after the ride I stepped on the scale and was surprised to see I was seven pounds down from when I started on Tuesday. Those were easy pounds though, and I would suspect I’ve really lost no more than five).
Anyway, tired, sore, and lacking in energy doesn’t make for the best of rides, but it tires me out enough that I’ll probably get a good night’s sleep, and those are always good.
I enjoyed the ride, regardless. The new season is right around the corner…
