Week 31
This week was mostly consumed by a vacation to Idaho, but I didn’t get on the bike on Thursday or Friday for a variety of reasons, including sleep deprivation and general travel fatigue. Also, my Palm refused to power up on Friday, eventually resetting. That lost me 2200 miles of cycling data, including coordinates and timings of odometer marks (even hundreds). Back up your data more than once every three months, kids.
Saturday was the day I remembered that I had taken seven rest days in a row. It was time to ride again. So, I headed up to Portola Valley and Woodside and down through Cupertino for a little over fifty miles.
After guzzling ten bottles of water in only three hours of riding, downing four Clif Shots, and eating an Odwalla bar, I completed my ride with an out-of-shape 18.3 mph average. A week out of the saddle takes quite a bit out of your stomp.
