30 Days and Counting

Now recovering from this morning's long ride. It was a real unusual day today at least for a February. I woke at 5:20am and was on the road at 6! Yeah, it was dark too but not cold as it would normally be this time of year. I had a light mounted on the bars which really works well but actually there is almost no one on the roads on a Saturday morning.I got back home just before 11. That was a long ride. I did get a break of 30 minutes as I missed the 7:20 ferry by 2 minutes but all in all it was 110K or about 68 miles. All of that while it was 8-9°C too! Needless to say I was pretty shattered when I got home but had to turn around and head out with the kids for an hour hike through the hills to where we wanted to have lunch. That I am still standing now is really interesting too.Tomorrow is another 3 hour ride but really low intensity and I will take it really easy too. But there are 30 days till my first race of the year in Cologne and I am getting ready. It is only 60K or less than 2 hours but I have been working pretty hard for this one. There are a few hills but not as bad as some around here where I train.Tour of Cologne 60K ProfileSo off to ready the bike for the ride tomorrow. It is to be an even nicer day than it was today. I will take all these nice Feb days whenever they come!Parrothead
