Mosey Monday

A quiet, gentle, friendly ride was in the cards today, and it was quite enjoyable.  There were six of us out with Bryan on his new Seven bike and Chip fresh from the 300k this weekend.  We rode two by two all morning catching up with the goings on and ooohhhing and aaahhhing over Bryan’s bike.  The pace was so easy that at times my heart rate fell below 100, and yet we averaged 16 mph.

It is great to have more daylight in the mornings.  The changing light conditions I think does more to keep the routine rides interesting than just about anything else … except the company.

And so draws to a close the month of April.  I missed my goal of 700 miles (by 35 miles).  I accomplished the Flèche.  I’m moving into May with some enthusiasm to increase these miles and the foot isn’t complaining nearly as much as before.

This Ride: 21.7 miles
Month: 664.6 miles
2012: 1597.8 miles
Total since 1/1/2010: 15,451.5 miles
