Busy on the bike
Just finished a 30 hour week. Been a while since I've done that.
20 hrs on the bike 10 hrs at the gym (yoga, swimming, resistance).
Yesterday Senior Wince and I rode gravel for just under 4 hours. I sent out an invite to my usual suspects and received one reply: Dude, it's raining and 25 degrees, Have fun. I did. I did.
We headed westward to 74th and then south past Jordan Creek mall before diving into the gravel. We had not gone 2 miles when we ran into Brian Duffy coming in on his mountain bike. Despite my encouragement, Duffy would have no interest in joining us.
The wind was out of the SSE, so when we turned south and it hit me on the cheek I stung. But this was an A-typical day when I actually dressed appropriately. Usually I over dress and then sweat, and then freeze. But today wore just the right layers of clothing and my foot warmers were working well.
As we approached the DMACC Technology complex and the last mile of gravel we ran into Dave Mable logging some winter Dirty Du training in his running shoes. Rich gave smiling Dave a high five as we passed in opposite directions. Random.
We headed back East and north and made it back to town with just short of 3 hours completed, so we opted to ride back out 63rd and east on Park Avenue toward downtown.
I rode Rich through the East Village and around the route that we are planning for our fall criterium (mark your calendars for August 30th. Great course, big prizes).
We finished off at my gym and a big ol protein shake.
Time for a well-earned rest week.

Heh. Some of your suspects wanted to get out before the weather got too bad. We were out about 3 hours as well.
