It was a lil' dark when I set out on the morning ride. I'm chalking up 20% of it to sunrise getting later and the other 80% to cloud cover - it's just too depressing to get behind Vol's heralding of autumn, otherwise.
Also, I spent most of the ride wondering if my TICKR was broken or if my ticker was broken. It was an easy ride, as a recovery ride should be, but my HR seemed to be sitting too low for a given power, 'specially in the first half of the ride. I ramped up and down a little, watching HR, and it was responsive... just several beats lower than what I'd expect.
