Leg Weights.

Yesterday was the second Tuesday Road Ride. Jim, Nate, Mike, and I headed out a bit after 5:30. Both Mike and I were with customers till the end. There was minimal wind so any direction was good to go. Since it is March yet I was hoping for a couple hour spin. My legs are feeling a bit knackered after last weeks work on them. But Jim was along and the all too familiar scenario occurred once again: me beside Jim, out front, with a every so slowly upturn in the pace. Jim still talking and me drooling...awesome! Several times during the ride Jim just rode away from us. The man is a beast. The ride was fun and always good to switch up the rides with some intensity. We ended up with a bit over 2 hours. In a weird way I am looking forward to longer days so we can pound out 70 miles in what time we have. It will be nice to have the actual "road" bike out too. Today I plan on 3 hours of casual riding. The legs need some active recovery. Looks like a warm weekend! Time to ride. Out.

Been there done that! It's unbelievable, Jim talking like he's sitting in the living room recliner, and your riding near max HR with snot and drool running down your chin with the 1,000 yard stare going unable to do much more then grunt once in awhile. I would love to use the excuse that I'm 45 but Jim's even older then me!
