I am driving back from a quick lunch, where I read the new Bicycling and got inspired, and called the C - "we are riding tonight," I said. "I will be ready," was the reply. It has been a stressful week after the holiday. Budget prep, strategy sessions, distribution concerns, service concerns, new product launch concerns, Best of EFY, Scout Leader Training, Ward Conference preparation, etc. I needed some time on the bike - some serious pain time.
With only an hour of ride time available, it was the double Wilsonville loop with a Coral Creek in between. The pain train pulled away from the station and made the legs burn and the heart pound - 9'05" - only a second off my fastest time. It felt good to work so hard. I need to find the sub 9 minute time. I can see where to go faster... I just need to get there.
52 miles down this week - only a Saturday ride away from the weekly century...a couple more weeks and I will cross the 4K threshold for the year.
