The ride started out slow, as I had put new tires on my bike this morning, (Gatorskins), and I had a flat about 3 miles in. Had to change my tube on the side of the road. Good thing I was a boy scout!
Just beautiful out once again, so I took a bit longer of a ride at a much more leisurely pace. I went about 20 miles up through the west end of Rocky Hill to the bike shop, then out to Rocky Hill Center by way of the Veteran's Hospital, down by the town hall, through old Wethersfield, by the DMV, into the South End of Hartford, road through Goodwyn Park, (wishing I was golfing), then home. The ride through Goodwyn slowed my pace to 10.4 MPH for the ride, but well worth the detour.
Just after riding by the RH Town Hall I saw a couple of riders out in front of me, and decided to see if I could catch them. There was one good rider, riding with his buddy, most likely a novice, so I did catch them in about two miles. As I caught them though, they branched off to ride back to RH as I went on through Old Wethersfield. It is nice to know at 50 I can still catch a couple of young bucks. "Fun IS"...
Checking my Garmin when I got home, slowed me that I burned 2550 KCals...NICE! Tomorrow is a recovery day, mostly because it is going to rain! Bummer!
Making Chicken Sausage with whole wheat pasta after I go to the gym to shower up...:) Everyone around here will be thankful.
