This morning I road my recovery ride along the flats of Cromwell, rt 99, then through the hills of Berlin past the fair grounds, and back home. I call it my two shops ride. Stopped at CC to see Dave after his vaca in France...Lucky man. Road very slowly trying to keep my HR down under 130 as often a possible, although some of the hills required a bit over that, but nothing over 140 bt/min. AvgExHR was around 110 bts/min. Road about 25 miles all told. My legs were a bit tired after yesterdays fast ride out to Meriden and back, but it was great to be in the saddle. Base recovery rides are wonderful for building endurance, and burning KCals, about 2000 of them today.
Before leaving I put rice to cook in my rice cooker, (great device), and put my 4 bean chilli (vegan) on top when I got back from my ride. I think I will grill some veggies for dinner tonight on the grill, with some of more rice.
Going to see King of Leon with Nick tomorrow night, and hoping to ride with him before hand. This means a hard ride for me tomorrow...NICE!
