yesterday's post work ride

yesterday I ducked out early
pulled out the "birthday card" and asked to get out early
should have asked to get out early earlier
but... got out early just the same

was able to roll for just over an hour and a half on the bike
most of my ride was on the local bike paths
as I was earlier than usual I had less RUSH HOUR COMMUTER TRAFFIC
less people equals less hassle
it was good to ride with my heart rate going up from what I am doing
not because of what some other joker is doing

a good ride

getting close to the Shenadoah Mountain 100
focus should be more mental than physical
need to make sure my bike is ready for the task
tune it up today
test it at the race on Sunday
