7/2

Once again I have managed to dodge the raindrops. Today is a "rest" day so I didn't ride. Otherwise I would've been drenched on the way to work this morning. It seems that every time I drive to work I'm reminded why I love riding my bicycle so much. I could easily have been to work 10 minutes earlier today if I rode my bike. Evidently the police had somebody pulled over and everybody had to slow down to look. Frustrating.

It's a good thing today is a rest day because my legs are tired. I ended up riding 30 miles on a hill day on Tuesday. Then yesterday i took it easy on the way to and from work but then we did a buddy ride. It was me, Len, and Lori. We met at Squire's Castle and had a beautiful ride through the hills and valley of the North Chagrin reservation of the Metroparks. I have to admit Len did take it easy on us but I was completely wiped out by the time I got home. I think the ride last night should serve as a warning to the rest of my teammates. Once again on a ride, the person in front of me wiped out. First it was Rita then it was Lori. Thank goodness they are both OK. Lori's mishap was minor so I was relieved. It's good to have a rest day but I'll probably go to the gym after work today to get some work done on the rest of me!
