Thursday was yucky! All I could muster was a miserable 15 mile training ride with Danoh. It wasn’t that cold but it is getting dark early.
Friday was a day off.
Saturday Dan and I met for a 38 mile bike ride around Salisbury and Pleasant Plains. Neff actually joined us for a quarter of the ride. He flipped just before Salisbury. Did I mention he is nuts? It was something like 40 degrees. I’m wearing booties and a ski mask. He is wearing leg warmers and nothing but a jersey and arm warmers……no gloves. Crazy or dumb? You make the call.
My transition was a little long considering I had to strip off a lot of layers. I then headed out to meet Dan and we put in a short 4.5 miles. He was actually wanting to run faster than I was so I let him go up the road on the way home. For being only 38/4 miles I was pretty tired. I hope Austin doesn’t turn into disaster…….
trying to get used to the cold to come… now last nights ride was dumb.. thought I could get a Petersburgh Athens in before dark… Not quite… left at 5 and had to finish the last 45 in the dark.. back roads, deer, cars, Not one of my better judgements. Its really dark in the boonies… oh and the I swore the river people were gonna get me.
Ya, it starts to get dark just after 18:00 now. Sounds pretty intense, riding in the dark without a light. That’ll make a man out of you…..or roadkill.
