On Saturday i went out with a friend and we did the Rocky Route on road bikes. So 37 miles.
On Sunday i went out solo on the mountain bike and did the Rocky Route again.
Saturday was a lot of fun, my riding partner is relatively new to town so most of the route was new to him. He spent 8 years living in Chicago riding a fixed gear bike so he was good to go on the mean streets of Downtown Kansas City.
The pace was slower than i usually ride, he was hurting by the end, we had a blast.
Later that day i found some quality couch time and put my feet up and watched a bit of a movie.
Did i mention that on Friday i ran a mile? It's been about a year since i did that but i want to get back into running so i bought some fancy new running shoes and gave them a spin. Not surprisingly my legs were pretty soar from that 10 minute effort.
Sunday my ride window was very early and i was pedaling by 5:35 am.
The first half of the ride was magical, at 5:35 am it was 78 degrees with bearable humidity, a stiff tail wind, and a full(?) moon. The last half of the ride was a stiff head wind and i wanted to die. My legs were not having it. i wanted to go hard, i was excited to go hard, i figured i'd feel good, i was wrong.
There is a mountain bike race this Saturday that i'd like to do. It's on some trails that would be new to me up by the airport. It starts at 8am which is perfect for me.
We'll see how the week unfolds but so far race attendance is looking promising.
Saturday Ride...
