election day has finally arrived and i elected to go out for a nice recovery ride this morning after yesterday's torturous time trial. when i woke this morning and stepped outside, i wasn't sure i was in kansas. there was NO wind! it was beautiful out. 75 degrees and - did i mention this? - NO wind!
i rode west toward danville, keeping my cadence as steady as my slowly beating heart. i didn't want to waste yesterday's hard effort by overexerting myself today.
i rode on the "construction" side of the danville overpass and pedaled on past evil dog's house. his replacement - found out the mutt's name is travis - came out and ran along with me for a bit. (that's for a bit, not a bite!) i yelled at him, "travis, go home! bad dog!" and he turned tail and ran.
i continued on to the next intersection, then turned around and headed back. the eastward journey was much the same as the westward. slow easy pedaling. up and over l'alpe d'anville on the "construction" side. (noticed broken glass on the bridge platform this time. glad it didn't hit it in the dark.) over the plains and around the correction curves to home.
a good ride. i elect now to shower and go vote! (18.02 miles @ 16.4mph)
