Recovery ride by scott_t_ct at Garmin Connect - Details

Untitled by scott_t_ct at Garmin Connect - Details Road a recovery ride on the flats of Cromwell into Old Wethersfield today, although I really wanted to ride big again, I didn't have it in me. Wanted to ride to Chester today, but when I got on my bike, my body said NO. I had absolutely no legs, wind, or much energy to even ride to the shop and back, but once I got there, I thought I would just as well ride the flats as anything. 20 mile at about 12 MPH isn't very impressive, even on a recovery ride, but was enough to give me a good workout after a hard ride yesterday. The wind and damp raw weather really had an impact on my outlook. I was looking forward to the warm ride, and only put on a thin thermal top under short sleeves and my bib shorts. I was quite cold for most of the ride, but not too cold. I still had my long fingered gloves and beanie so my head and hands were warm, which helped quite a bit. Tomorrow I ride in my old haunts of Essex, and I am excited about that. Love that ride along Cedar Lake down through Ivoryton, and my favorite, River Road! Then I am going to have dinner with Brian, so let the weather be grand.
