Last day of the Tour

[ianuk]

Well, we got up and biked this morning. My left leg wasn't happy so I didn't repeat yesterdays 14.5 miles but I did do the 10.43 miles trek and we averaged 15.9mph overall. I was more consistent though but I still need to work on gearing down earlier on hill climbs but I'm improving and mel even commented that I was much improved since we last rode (the truck stop run). He actually commented that it was "getting fun" to ride with me.

Now we are watching the last tour stage..late, we didn't realize it started at 430am but its been fun to watch.

Yesterday was good and the baby blanket got lots of luv at the shower. I'm going to start the third one today and mel just finished winding the center pull balls. I also need to go grocery shopping for good body fuel and fruits and veggies for the week. We had dinner out with Tati and Mingo last night and had a very nice time at La Parilla Suiza. I had fajitas and that was nice. Sans the tortillas, well, I had one and a shot of tequila cause it sounded good.

The bike ride yesterday is telling me that I need to work on more core excercises again. My tailbone has been giving me no end of trouble of late and I'm sure being stuck in airplanes a good chunk of this last week hasn't helped any at all. Plus I've forgotten to massage my knees and my left knee was very, very unhappy today during the ride so I cut it short. It won't even pop back in place its so tight....so lots of stretching, massage and icy hot today. Eh, all good and I know what things I need to continue to do.

So, gonna be a nice day and relaxing too. All good.

Shorts wont make much difference but a saddle would...I'm going to go in for another refit and chat seats with the guys at the good shop.

Awesome. They sell great saddles there and won't lead you astray. Still...you are a rockstar all your riding. Look forward to get back from Pennsic and turn up the riding.
