Easy Day Turns Tough

September 4, 2009

I was looking forward to an easy ride today. After the 42 miles I did yesterday, and easy 20 mile sounded great today. Had a choice as I reached the ocean go north or south first. The wind was blowing hard out of the north and I normally would have gone north first and then headed south for an easy ride home. Today, I decided to challenge the wind for some reason. Ride south was great. When I turned around it was a different story. A recovery ride turned into a constant push for 10 miles. It turned out to be a good practice in concentration. Wound up doing 22 miles and feeling OK. I am off to play golf later with my son in law. Golf sometimes is harder on me than a long bike ride. It is all about my back!
