Yesterday I wrote about my recovery ride. Here's why I take it easy the day after a hard effort...
This morning, I pushed my riding up another notch. I knocked out 21.64 miles at 19.7mph. I was at 19.8mph until the last quarter mile or so. I just couldn't hold on to that tenth against a stiffening south wind.
Still, this ride was my third best non-wind-assisted ride ever. I rode 23.37 miles at 19.7 in April 2006 and I sprinted to a 19.8mph average over 10.68 miles in August of the same year.
Today was fun...in a painful sort of way. If only I could get a group of guys to ride with me at that pace. Argh!
