i managed to get a 20 mile ride in before the sky peed on me. well, that was the plan. the sky never opened up and honestly, i had more gas in me so i’m disappointed i didn’t put another ten down. the idea was to get out there. stretch out my legs and start mentally ramping up for long rides.
the other part of this is testing out my gear and fueling.
the first 3 miles of my day were just around the neighborhood running errands and whatnot. then the squeeze and i headed downtown to check on the cherry blossoms and do a few laps around hains point. unfortunately i’ll be gone the next two weekends so i’ll be missing the height of the season, but since the blooming was well under way, i figured a cloudy day was better than nothing. no camera for me this week. but i will tell you it was so dreamy riding under a canopy of cherry blossoms at hains point.
we rode back just in time for the sky to start spitting on us. which is did, but then it didn’t. oh well. it was lovely.
stats
roughly 20 miles in about 1.5 hours
- not too fast, but with some sustained sprints in there
- no laps set on the garmin, but i will have it set up for my next ride as i start to ramp up the cycling training.
