Last weekend I said I as going to follow Dr. Mirkin’s recommendation to ride easy after a hard ride. Well, I forgot that and tried to equal yesterday’s effort if not the miles. I found that my condition is not here yet to handle this. I suffered a bonk around the 21 mile point so I had to slow down and motor home. My Mercier road bike is riding nice. I did see several other riders today but they were headed in the opposite direction. Weather was 80 degrees when I got back home with some cloud cover and a slight WNW wind.

Today’s ride statistics:

• miles = 25.74
• average speed = 15.0 mph
• ride time = 1:42:43
• average pace 3:59 min/mile
• max speed = 19.5 mph
• average cadence = 80.4 rpm
• max cadence = 110 rpm
• climb = 162 ft., descending = 142 ft.
• ytd mils = 691.41
