The "Short" Long Commute
The commute home tonight sucked...period. Ive been giving it a good go the past week and a half with the new commutes, and today I put them both together. The morning was great. Sunny, wind at my back, no traffic. The commute home was the complete antithesis of that. 30-45 mph headwind from the shop to the golf course at Cherry Creek Res, lightning overhead, thunder so loud it drowned out my headphones, a flat tire right as the light went down, and then pouring down rain the last 3 miles.
The plus side is that im feeling like the bike isnt riding me, and Im riding the bike for the first time in a few years. Tomorrow I think will be an easy day...the "standard" commute in with a stop at Rise and Shine Biscuit Cafe(which was started by a fellow NC'er out here) at their Crestmoor location to visit with Greg, who's back from his trip to Spain and has gone down to part time since starting Grad school recently.
Anywho...Ive got a couple months to put down a good weight-dropping base before cross season, and then im hoping to use the first few races as my "interval" training.
