Commute No.11
Date: Feb 9 Mon
Weather: 35F/67F!
Mileage: 17.5 (Trek)
Year to date: 375
To hell with 2 different blogs. I don't really care if anybody reads this one or the other anyway. If people do, great. If they don't, then they, YOU have used your time more constructively.
This was the first "real" ride of February after a horrendous and miserable ice storm. Today on the Beargrass Trail I saw the tattered remnants of Old Man Winter, with several sections almost impassable due to downed trees. I felt slow and lethargic, to no surprise. I took the Trek, but tomorrow I think I'll rotate over to the LHT to give me a lazy gear if I need it. Let's be clear too. This afternoon brought 67F and breezy. A complete delight in all respects. We're in for higher-than-normal temps all week. It's too bad I couldn't go for a long one today, but it'll do. It's better than driving. This week brings some medical stuff Wednesday relating to the heart issue, and Thursday is the Bike Summit. That should be interesting.
Today felt good though. Blood in the legs and air in the lungs. Life as it should be.

I had the truck, as I had to go direct to Crestwood from work to teach.
Glad you got out. It wasn't as warm here, but wonderful on Sunday (about 60 and sunny). I went on a walk and did some jogging, then remembered that I can't jog outside because I can't breathe. Oops. Got carried away in the beautiful weather. It happens.
Enjoy this week's weather.
