This morning was time for another training ride.  I had meant to do something more interesting, but I was feeling more like throwing up than going up, so I decided to stick to the usual sort of loop, and if it came to it, cut my losses and come home.

However, after the first twenty minutes, once all warmed up, I felt fine!  It was windy and a bit nippy, but I’d planned for that, and headed out into it, so that for the slog bit at the bottom of the loop, it would be behind me.  This time I got it right too!

By my reckoning – being still devoid of computer – I did 34 miles in about 2 hours, which means I must have been going as fast as I felt like I was.  Very cool 🙂

Cycling time: c 2 hours.
Distance: 34 miles
Avs: around 17 mph?
ODO: 488.7 miles

I am continuing to enjoy cycling on the drops, especially into the wind, and am now learning to get back up on the bars when the wind is behind me, so as to present a larger target to be pushed along.  It all made for a pretty good ride really – especially since I feel so much better now than I did when I started out today!  I made a point of drinking some Recovery when I got in as I figure I need all the help I can get in preparing for this weekend’s Dragon Ride.  It’s also time to start eating pasta! *grin*
