Two Wheel Blogs

I stepped out to get the mail this afternoon and could not believe how warm it felt. There's rain in the forecast, so even though I didn't really feel up to a workout I saddled up anyway.

You know the logic. The weather's half way decent today and it's supposed to turn to crap by tomorrow. I feel like crap today but I'll probably feel good and want a nice ride tomorrow. I do prefer not to ride in cold and rain. If I pass on riding today and feel like ripping it up tomorrow it'll be a helluva trainer session. If I go and ride today despite how I feel ant tomorrow's an off day then who cares, the weather's crap.

Front derailleur cable all repaired and ready to rock, I headed out for a quick jaunt on rolling terrain. For my efforts I got more of the same as yesterday. My legs just didn't have much snap to them. Even the little climbs brought the pain. Try as I might, I couldn't push it to the point where I was actually breathing hard.

My body was screaming something about needing food at just over an hour of this nonsense so I pointed the front wheel towards the refrigerator. I think it's time for a rest.

Tomorrow's supposed to be rain.

Could be a good day to replace the chain I wasn't sure would make it through Ouachita. I might need it this weekend.
