Good to get back on the bike again after a day off. Even though running is my first love, I am quickly getting to really enjoy the bike time. I got off to an early start today around 6:30 am and headed north along the shore. The wind again was really blowing out of the northeast. They say riding into the wind is like riding up hills. Since I have yet to start hill training I guess I am getting some basic hill training. Managed to get to Sandy Hook. On the Hook I get to ride 6 miles with no traffic and I am basically the only one riding. Peaceful and beautiful. The ride home was good. Had a tail wind and not many cars. Felt strong and only had a little back challenges along the way. Wound up doing 45 miles in 2 hours 45 minutes averaging about 16.2 mph. Really would like to get to the 4 hour mark on the bike. Will try and see if I am ready over the weekend.
