Late Tuesday bike ride

BIKE: 1.5hrs about 21.5 miles

When the option to ride outdoors on Tuesday popped up in my Inbox, I took it. The Bird was still in the shop, Frea I hate to say I'm just getting tired of, and the Puppy doesn't go on the trainer. Why ride indoors anyway?!?

So I took the Puppy to the ride. It was just me and JM, I have to admit to some trepidation about being too slow, especially on the Puppy. It's not really a road bike, and I haven't been sleeping too good the last few nights (More on that later).

But in the end it was a good fast ride for being all in-town! JM pointed out the benefit of the high cadence needed for CX bike gearing, and sure enough he was right. It did require a steady and quick turnover to ride at a higher speed. And surprisingly I felt pretty good during the ride, the fatigue of the past few days seemed to melt away for a little while...

Speaking of the past few days...I've been...off. Off is the only way I can put it. Tired, sluggish, bored, hmmmm maybe burned out?!? Ya think!??!?

For two nights in a row I had awful sleep, and with some backtracking it might be coming from a powdered tea I was drinking those nights before bed. So I cut that out. We'll see what happens from there...
