Just driftwood for the sea

Just a short one today – a bit like today’s ride.  Today the ACG had a three way split.  Some were off to Lyme Regis and back, some off to do 47 local hilly miles.  Being off form and still ill, I wasn’t up for either of these…but three of us did make it to Glastonbury for coffee and back 🙂

Ride 24:08:14 coffee fun

Cycling time: 1:50
Distance: 28.8 miles
Avg: 15.7 mph
ODO: 6325.8 miles

It was just what I needed.  Not fast, not hard, not alone; just enough to show my legs are actually still there.  After struggling and suffering on last Sunday’s Sodbury Sportive, I’ve been a little out of love with the whole cycling thing, and it was a good start on the road back.  Besides, if I didn’t ride, what would I do about my low boredom threshold?  So, in the absence of an alternative, cycling it is.  I just need to focus on enjoying it more.  Yes I’m still dreading the Pyrenees, but I should learn to judge myself by my standards, not that of others, right?  Or maybe just not judge myself at all.
