Where does the time go?! A few things happen and the next thing I know I haven’t been on a bike ride for 4 or 5 weeks. I didn’t plan this ride, I just woke up to a nice day and thought “get on your bike.”

I wasn’t fast, I wasn’t feeling good (a painful knee was part of the reason I hadn’t been out for a while) but I wanted a psychological win from laying down road miles.

It turned out to be quite frustrating because it was my first ride on Thundergoat for a while and it had a minor yet annoying mechanical. It put me off relaxing and going at full tilt…
