Finally, a day I could get out and ride. Yes, outdoors. And I only got rained on a little bit.

Actually getting outdoors for a bike ride felt like a whole new experience. Seems like it's been forever. That feeling of being out of school, you know the one, the last day, in the afternoon, just when the bell rings and you don't have to come back for three whole months... That feeling. Yeah, that one.

I didn't bring my A legs to the party though. If I'd had my A legs today I'd have been riding like there was no tomorrow. As it was, it was, well, just grand.

And yes, I got rained on. Just a little bit. Every day around here has some rain in it lately. You know that smell, kind of dusty, kind of muddy that you only get for a few seconds at the start of a shower? The first few drops bring it on and all too soon it's gone. Nope, you don't get that when you're riding your bicycle on the trainer.

I didn't make all that many watts out there today. These were the B legs at best. Yesterday's trainer workout took the best of what I had to give. No complaints here. Tomorrow's rest is well earned.

Oh, and one more thing... Recovery drink. I slammed down a concoction of milk, sugar, vanilla protein powder and some coffee left over from this morning. Not bad! I might have to make that one a regular.
