Just as I suspected, my legs needed rest... that's why my times kept getting slower and slower. After 2 days rest, not only was I faster again, but I had the best average speed of the year so far... 15.5 mph. At one point half-way through the ride my average speed read 16mph... I knew I couldn't sustain that because the last half of the ride always consists of climbing the hills that I descended on the first half. I'll have to go over my records to see what my top average speed for a ride was when I was riding regularly a couple of years ago.
Tomorrow, I'll probably go for a longer ride and not worry about speed.... just to get out there and put some miles into my legs... and get some sunshine... and most importantly, start my one week vacation.
OK off to make some lunch... see you peoples tomorrow, ciao
