A Good Ride

Finally! I've had a good ride to work and back today. Admittedly the weather was kind and there was little wind but I rode well and felt good doing it. I managed better than 30kph both ways. While I'm still not 100% I feel like I'm just starting to come good.

I'm particularly happy with how my legs felt. I was able to grind hard into the wind and up hill today, without feeling my legs going to jelly. All that stomping up hills on Saturday must be paying off.

Yesterday by contrast, I went out early to do some hill repeats. I managed two fairly pathetic efforts before a blood nose gave me the excuse to stop. Obviously I just hadn't properly recovered by then.

This feels like the day to knock a stake in the ground to mark where I've turned a corner. We'll see what the next week or so brings.
