Thursday Morning Hiatus

So I got a text from Will last night, to meet him at his house this morning at 8:30 to bang out some miles. Generally i wouldn't be around to take him up on it, but i was as caught up as i get at work, and figured i could work some extra hours this evening to make up for it. (so far it is working out ;)

Anyway arrived at Will's swanky pad, and we headed out. We headed south and unlike the last time we went out, my legs felt fresh and my heart rate was good, so we set a pretty solid pace and made our way to Turkey Hill via Letort road. I think that is a good warm up, because you have these step type climbs to the top. Really gets the legs loosened up.

I took point as we descended Turkey hill, and hit a new max speed for me of 50.7 mph. Yeah baby, glad i was on a MASI.

We rolled into Columbia then climbed Ironville Pike, Again legs felt good and was able to match Will's pace going up it. So some decent improvement there.

Anyway we looped up through Mount Joy and then back to Will's pad.

Ride Details

I will admit that the heat was getting to me today, and as we pulled into Will's i was starting to get a headache. I think it was primarily that I wasn't drinking enough, so I'm gonna have to better manage my hydration on these hot days.

Also i have to find something i can eat while riding. The though of cycling and riding always turns my stomach. I know it is psychological but never the less, I'll have to work through that.
