What a difference a week makes

This Ride: 28.7 miles
Month: 234 miles
2011: 694.1 miles
Total since 1/1/10: 6,813.8 miles

Last Friday’s Breakfast Ride was in 15°F temperatures.  This morning, just one week later, it was 54°F.  I much prefer the 54!

We had a good group out this morning, with 7-8, I think.  Bill C planned a longer ride down to Sweet Sue’s following breakfast.  Jerry came down from Catonsville and joined us.  On the way down, Jerry flatted at the Naval Academy Bridge, so we were a little later getting to the Hard Bean for breakfast.  We lingered longer than usual, and were late enough getting back that some pressed the pace just a bit.

These rides and these riders are fantastic. I can’t think of a better start to the day.

I’m now completely focused on tomorrow’s ride.  I’ll do some packing and list making this morning.  I’ll finish packing this afternoon.  Lori and I will dine in Annapolis this evening, and then it will be early to bed for me.  My alarm and the coffee pot are both set for 3:15 am.  I am a little concerned about my legs right now.  I’ve put in quite a few miles this week, with two hard and fast days included.  I’m feeling some deep fatigue in my legs right now.  Who knows how they will feel tomorrow evening.
