First Tuesday Ride

I did my first 20 mile ride on a Tuesday. It was a little harder than I expected. Probably becuase I am still recovering from a mild cold. I did pretty well on the way out to Davenport. Then I turned around and discovered that I had been riding with a nice tailwind. It took much more work to ride back into a headwind. But the weather was nice and made for an enjoyable ride anyway.

It will be interesting to see how Thursday's ride goes. It has been a long time since I have ridden with only one day's rest. I usually can only fit in one ride a week. This gives me plenty of time to recover. To make matters worse, I will be riding with my friend Karyn. She has vowed to ride circles around me. And that was when she thought I would be fully rested and healthy! No telling what torture she has in mind for me now. And I thought the toddlers were cruel. Shudder ...
