To the Cape

FRIDAY

Distance: 21.5 mi.

Time: 1:08:44

Avg. speed: 18.77 mph

Weather: high 70's, very humid

--

Friday morning "coffee clatch" ride with Doug, Chris, Smudger, Steve, Rob, Alan and Carl. LIke last week, it took a couple of hills for me to warm up but I was fine after that. Very humid.

Very lively sprint at the end. Lesson learned: sprint THROUGH the finish (duh) - I was 3rd wheel approaching the end and eased up with about 10 ft to go and two people passed me.

Left Achilles tendon pretty sore late in the day.

Easy ride with brother Doug out of Chatham (Cape Cod) along bike trail. Hoping Hurricane Bill does not mess up our plans to ride big either Sunday or Monday.

Left Achilles tendon still a bit tender, a rain day Sunday would keep me off bike and allow some healing for Monday...
