After nearly 3 weeks off the bikes (for various reasons) it was good to get in almost 20 miles today.
Sure was nice on an endurance frame, flatish course, reasonable pace.
But the legs absolutely need a few easier rides to remember how to do this with
vigor.
'Coming back to speed' isn't as easy as it once was.
Bike is AustriDaimler Vent Noir, 1983. Purchased as a frameset and reassembled from exiting spare parts. Cockpit especially comfortable. Dry, dry weather. About 50 days with no rain. Dry streak may end this week, but close to the all-time record.
Had a bout of illness and chest congestion. Though vaxed months ago, I got tested for Covid and resulted negative. Not sure what it was, but more than a cold.
Ride on old guys! With vigor! ...and a smile.
