Sunday morning ride...with food.
Jun. 28th, 2009 01:04 pmWell, we got the alarm set and made rather good time though I sucked up the hills to Triple T truck stop. The frontage road was quiet but the road a bit rough. Eh. It was 8.26 miles to the truck stop and we averaged 14.6 mph there. Got food...I'd forgotten the portions on truck stop food. It was nummy but luckily richard was able to take our left overs home for us. Had a nice time with folks and even hung with some bikers, one of which was SCA (Martin!). Course SCA folks and bikers really usually get along and it was good.
Good conversations and good hearty food. Then I didn't suck out and have someone drive me home. We pedaled home and at first I thought, this is not a good idea, but once we turned onto kolb I did much better as my legs warmed back up. Had some good runs on speed and my hill climb didn't suck as much as going to the truck stop. By my bike computer we averaged 15.6 over the 8.77 miles. Not bad. Got home and richard was playing overlord and reynier was playing in the shop. Cooled down, got showers and then the house cleaning began. We've been a bit lax of late with the house and it needed a good pickup and put away and vacuuming. Now I'm going to work on embroidery and when folks get hear for weaving I will continue to do that until we get back to warping the heddles on the loom. I'm tired though, pretty weary from the ride but I think I will perk up with some tea...if not.. yanno, a nap isn't so bad.
Well, good weekend so far and I've been keeping up on the workouts and that is a good thing.
