Rollin it back home

Somehow amidst all the craziness of returning home this week, I’ve managed to squeeze in a few rides. The weather cleared up a bit yesterday afternoon and I finally was able to sneak out for a nice recovery ride and chill for a bit on the bike and just spin the legs out.

Today, though managed to fit in 2 rides. I was up early for a quick ride with Chad who works at the bike shop. It was bit cold at the start, but warmed up. Somebody has lit a fire under the dudes ass this season as he’s dropped 55 lbs and me on the ride! He was killing it. Somehow I forgot about all these little rolling hills around here! 5-30 second kickers that you have to accelerate pretty good over the top and rev it coming down. I suffered a bit and huge props to Chad for the super fitness he’s carrying right now.

I needed some self redemption this afternoon, so I decided to take my invite for the shop group ride. Weather was pretty damn good for upstate and I was apt to take advantage while I could. The legs definitely had been softened up in the am, but they really didn’t feel that bad. Luckily for the most part we were a bunch of chatty Cathy’s and took it easy for the most part, there were a few good efforts but mild for the most part.

This weekend looks to be halfway decent, might try to get out for a long one Saturday and then maybe hit some dirt roads on sunday for my own version of Paris-Roubaix
