This Weekend So Far

I started on Friday afternoon. I didn't have a lot of time, so I went
for a short ride (under 50 miles). The weather was the best it has
been in a while. The ride was pleasant and uneventful. Did my north
shore hugger, Port Wash, Roslyn, Sea Cliff, Glen Cove, Mill Neck.
After Horseshoe and Frost Mill I skipped Mill Hill and the rest and
just turned toward Chicken Valley and Wheatley. Rode hard and did some
climbing. Average was a poky 16.4.

This morning George met me at my house and we repeated the shore
hugger. I still wasn't fully recovered from yesterday and started
falling behind. George was kind enough to wait for me. We stopped in
Oyster Bay to get some food. Tomorrow is the yearly tri which Isaac
will be doing too (good luck, Isaac!), so there were lots of riders
and runners out there preparing and scouting the routes. From there we
did Moore's Hill, 108 and Stillwell. We skipped the campus. I was beat
and it was getting hot in the sun. Finished off at 57 miles. My
average was 16.3, not as bad as I feared, considering how I was
struggling on the climbs.

I'll be riding again tomorrow morning. I'll try to get some proper
rest. Anyone looking to join? Drop me a line. If I don't get any
confirmation I'll shoot to join the 8:00 triangle group. As a matter
of fact, I would suggest anyone else who might join me to mix it up
with them tomorrow too.
