an extended cool down

i was still dripping with sweat after my hard ride this morning when my wife walked past the computer and said she wanted to go on a ride. i was agreeable, so off we went. we rode south out of town and then west. the wind was a bit stiff for the first five miles and my wife suffered.

things were much better when we turned north. we picked up speed with the wind at our backs. by the time we reached the highway, we were up to 8.3mph. turning east and then southeast, we kept pushing and made it back to town with an 8.4mph average overall. a good workout for my wife...and good recovery for me. (12.18 miles @ 8.4mph)
