This week was a small milestone in Strava where I rolled over 75,000 miles. It has been just 5 years since I got back on the bike and it's been a good journey. I have been very lucky to get to do some really cool things on the bike in the last few years. I can say that I have enjoyed every minute of it.
On Saturday I got in 127 miles and also did the East / West Groveler. I knew the guys up front were going to push the pace since it was only 40 miles. Around 12 miles into the race I let the group go, which was fine, but then I got caught by a train. The second group rolled up on me, so I let them break the wind for a few miles until we got to a few hills. I pulled away going up the hills. Ean Kiddo tried to come along but I was able to pull away from him with the tailwind. The next 50 some miles I felt good even though I had a small headwind back home.
My legs have been feeling sluggish the past few weeks and probably since I have been just riding easy. The goal is just to get miles in through December and then I can go back to some more harder efforts. We will see how the weather holds up. Sounds like we have some winter coming in this next week. Hopefully I can stay off the trainer way more than last winter, but we will see.
