I went pretty hard on my ride Wednesday, so Thursday I just did my upper body strength workout. I followed that with a short local easy cruise on my recumbent which helped my legs recover.
I signed up again this month for the Strava metric century challenge, which I decided to knock off on Friday. But I was a bit too ambitious because I set out without having breakfast and didn’t bring any energy bars. I felt pretty good until I got beyond about 45 miles, then started to drag, so I headed home, not quite making 50 miles, I little short of my 100k (62 mile) target. Note to self: not a good idea to do 100k rides without eating! I’ll try again later this month, making sure I eat breakfast and bring snacks. This did turn out to be a pretty nice route which I’ll probably use again in the future. It’s great for starting out early on a weekday because it avoids routes highly trafficked during rush hour, and is is nice and scenic.
