Yay, Bike!
To be clear, that's, "Yay, Human Powered Road Bike!"
Went for a super easy ride today to Rick's Ice Cream and back. I was feeling mighty sore from the gym yesterday, but ice cream on a hot day is a wonderful motivator. I'd planned a slow ride, and thanks to an uncomfortably tight hamstring, rode an even slower one. Still, slow exercise is better than no exercise.
Popped an Aleve before the ride and made it home just as my left knee started to complain. The rest of me still felt pretty good, though. Logged just over 17 miles. If workout ramp-up goes well, I'll go for double that next time.
Wow, this was my longest ride since May. I haven't been riding nearly as much as I'd like this summer. Wasting two hours a day driving to and from San Ramon kills weekday riding, and training for Whitney killed a lot of weekends.
Or maybe those are just excuses, and I just need to be less lazy. Get on it, me.
