Solo 20 miles today. Boy I felt really good. Maybe the carbs from the sticky buns last night ha ha ha.
I started easy figuring I would be tired from yesterday. But who knows maybe not having to wear steel toe boots all week my legs felt great.
When I started, some guy came up behind me saying something about Sunday. A greeting but I wasn't exactly sure what he said so I just said hello how are you?
After he went by I noticed he was trying really hard to pull away. I was feeling good but not in race mode. 6 miles later, I notice he's only like 50 yards ahead. As we hit underpasses and gentle climbs if that, he started to fade. Oh goody! Fit looking guy so I figure I'd pass him then push the pace. I went by feeling great. Down in the drops for about half a mile then looked back to see where he was. Pretty far behind.
Oh yeah, he was almost trying to draft me when we first met. But I hammered as hard as I could all the way up the next 4 miles or so. Yup, he's gone and I passed a few others. Maybe he wasn't racing me but gave me motivation to push today.
Ended up having my best effort on this ride so far I take it.
Nice ride , looks like you had a good time ! Nice pose, reminds me of Charles Atlas LOL .
