Late Season Rides
Had a great weekend of weather – unfortunately I was out of town for most of it and couldn’t get much riding in. The problem with late season riding isnt just that it’s getting colder and wetter out as we travel into fall, but also that the days are getting shorter. As someone who ends work at 5pm, I can only get an hour or so of riding in before it’s too dim to be safe. Managed 70k over the weekend just the same, which is not too horrible – should have been 170k though. Dropped down to 186lbs as well, which is great.
I know there are plenty of people who ride late into the night, but i’ve had too many close calls to take the risk. Daylight riding only for this guy.
I’ve been watching the “road to paris” youtube movie about the US postal service team training for the 2003 tour de france – pretty awesome.
