Some epic riding occurred in the past few days of my life. Friday was the epic tour around the circle route. I did this ride with Justin, which was great because conversation makes the 4.5 hours go by so much faster. Working together in strong headwind near Fort Erie made it much more bearable. There must have been some warm air moving over a cold Lake Erie, because it was very foggy and chilly when close to it. I was not sure how I would feel on this ride because I did some tough VO2 max intervals the day prior. I was fine though.
Saturday was a rest/work day for me. Yesterday Justin and myself tore up Hardwood, covering all 50km of singletrack. It was such a blast riding there. So fun and flowy, with all kinds of unique terrain. Way different from Niagara. We both rode well, no crashes to report, other than one crash like climbing incident Justin had. The terrain there is so demanding, both of our hands were hurting from holding on so tight, and I could feel my upper body getting worked. Good times.
Right now I am watching the Giro. Barry is in a four man break, 20km to go with a 50second gap. Will they survive? I will have to find out before I head out on an easy road ride.
My work schedule is now dialed to suit my training demands. Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday are off, Monday, Thursday and Friday I work 3-8, and Wednesday I work the full day, which finishes at 6 just as the group ride leaves. Perfect!
Lots of time to train now.
Later
