as previously mentioned i got different tires on my bike last week... i took it for a ride at the park when i got the bike... with the notion that i would take it for a road ride early morning this weekend.
one of my co-workers suggested riding around the 630 time frame to avoid traffic
i have been scoping out roads and grades for a while now to see where i should go riding
i had this notion of riding out 10 miles and then calling someone to come get me - really i did - that way i wouldnt have to go back up this killer hill on the way home.. i also had the notion of going 6 miles and back 4 and then running home to the car 2 miles in prep for the race... again 6 miles out is quite the haul...
so then i looked at a loop that would bring me by the HT and KP's house... not a bad loop.. except the HILL in front of KP's neighborhood. I suspected I could have gotten some more distance by detouring through her neighborhood etc etc... but opted against that one as well
then i found one near the park - a 5 mile loop that i could extend by doing a couple laps on the trail in the park.. but wasnt moving all that fast this morning and the thought of driving and then getting on the bike made me hesitate - would hate to get there and not follow through with my plan...
so much thought, so much thought, just call me analytic! with an emphasis on ANAL.. really... just crunch some numbers while i am at it
decided on a slightly shorter route
and it went rather well
so well in fact i actually contemplated doing it twice before heading home...
i thought twice on that and headed home
hopped off the bike and walked to town and back.
i was moving for about 90 minutes
a good little brick
now need to swim some
and may need to do some interval training on the running bit
off to ATL tomorrow
