First ride in a month
First ride in about a month. Hot but overcast day so not so bad. Good time to start Fall training. First 30 minutes
took it easy felt stiff let the old bones loosen up. I needed some WD 40. Then it was great didn’t feel like I missed any time off. Ending up with 21 miles 1:45. So I’m happy with that for a start. The heat isn’t done yet so morning rides until we get a break from this heat.

Why the lay-off? I must have missed something.

Too much physical work to catch up on plus a swollen knee that just healed. 100+ weather doldrums. Late summer depression or I should say blues which is common here. Was a little burned out but I’m all enthusiastic again about riding my bikes.

27 miles this morning before the heat set in. Definitely back into it again. Those endorphins providing that natural high is what I need.

My days off from work are filled with working on house repairs, car repairs, etc. Saturday was 8 hours outside doing repairs and Sunday was a repeat. At least Sunday I hopped on the bike to let the air cool me off with my sweat soaked clothes. That makes for only 2 short rides in the last 7 days, though.
My left knee seems to be improving, too. Just in time for cooling weather!
