Week 36
A four-day riding week this week, because of my moving. On Monday, I ran out of daylight. On Tuesday, I felt like I’d spent the last couple of days lifting weights (oh, yeah, I kinda did) and found it difficult to walk. On Wednesday, I mapped out a route that didn’t involve riding straight to work. My new place is only three miles from my office, so I was going to have to find a better commuting route.
I found a good loop and resumed commuting to work on Wednesday, along with a nice 26+ mile loop after work to finish out my mileage for the day. One nice bonus about living so close to work is that I can drop off my backpack (full of my work clothes) around my fifth mile and do the rest of my ride without carrying that thing.
The metric century on Saturday was exhausting, due to brisk “high” temperatures, breezy winds, and a late start. But, once I get into a good routine at my new house, perhaps my cycling will become more consistent.
