What's It All About?

Follow me, or better yet join me as I journey into my sixties... enjoying my grandchildren... trying to stay healthy and fit... maybe some traveling and whatever else tickles my fancy.

Digging Deep

I really wanted to do a 40 miler today... I rode down to the Bronx first and back around my neighborhood to start off with a few miles before I headed up to White Plains... I should have done a few more loops before heading North... I rode to White Plains and back and wound up at my house with only around 30 miles... and I was beat, I really wanted to go inside and rest... I think yesterdays ride took a lot out of my legs.

But after I gave myself a good talking to, a little self-motivation, (I promised myself some chocolate, works every time, LOL)  I stayed on the bike for another 10 miles... so I was in the saddle for 2 hours and 40 minutes and I did just over 40 miles... and at a reasonable pace also, 15.1mph... I checked my previous long ride and it was at 14.1mph... so maybe that was another reason for me wanting to quit early, I set the pace too high.

I'm beat now, I gotta go eat and then do my German lesson, Later all
