I rode the recumbent (‘bent) to work today. Then I met up with Tim for an hour-long loop while one of his children was involved in soccer.
Tim and I had done some “training” rides on Monday nights last year. No training today. We’re both out of shape, and I’m slower on the recumbent due to not riding much in the last 18 months.
We meandered around town for an hour, then I headed toward home. I stopped at Four Pegs to talk to the owner about Car-Free Happy Hour, and I had to have a couple of beers while I was there. Their kitchen isn’t open on Monday’s, and I hadn’t eaten since lunch. The last time I did this on a Monday, I went to Hammerheads and didn’t remember the rest of the night. So, today, I went home.
I called Danny Mac’s Pizza for delivery, but they recently cut the days they are delivering. Bummer. I ordered anyway, and rode the ‘bent up to pick it up.
I ate well and rode a total of about 28 miles for the day. That’s the best mileage day for the year. It certainly was too many calories, but maybe I’ll get that under control tomorrow.
