Wow! A rare day.
Tuesday I rode a course I have ridden a hundred times. It's on the Natchez Trace. But I haven't ridden it in 2 months. I have been riding on a much hillier route and my mileage has gone down drastically in the last 2 months due to being sick, the heat, the rain. I was suspecting that it would not be a great day. But Tuesday was my best ride ever. I set a personal record for the first 30 miles and I hadn't really tapped very deep into my heartrate. The feeling of having more power than I have ever had in 20 years just felt great. It was a rare day indeed to feel that good on a bike.
Today, well......I am back to the hills. Hopefully my partner will not blow out. Sunday we rode in 110F heat index and he blew out after 15 miles and he almost didn't finish the 40 mile ride. LOL he even got within 200 ft of his house and had to get off his bike due to cramps. He likes to party alot and I think he is going to have to figure out if he is either going to be an athlete or professional beer drinker.
On a personal side: It's getting really tough coming to work and being around a receptionist that smells good, looks good, sounds good, it's all good, and available.....you know what I mean? Wish I could get over the fact that we work together.
