Today was another day on the road bike. I've been reasonably successful at riding every weekend, but I need to figure out a mid-week workout if I'm going to make any real improvements.
Today's ride was cool but not cold. Winds from the north. Strong winds. Since I always head north to avoid traffic, the ride started off with a bad headwind. I never felt that good, my legs seemed drained from the beginning. I caught a bit of luck about half way into the ride. Two riders passed me and asked me to hop on. We worked together for the next few miles headed north, which gave my legs a break. Then we turned around, with the winds at our back, and flew.
They turned off with about 3 miles left on my ride. And wouldn't you know it, the winds shifted again to a steady cross wind. I just couldn't catch a break.
Anyway it was a great workout and I enjoyed the company.
