No rest for the wicked Cycling                     Translate This Page Arabic Chinese Simplified Chinese Traditional Dutch French German Greek Italian Japanese Korean Portuguese Russian Spanish

Well after racing at Eldorado Park last night, I was hoping for a relatively easy ride this morning.

The Wednesday ride can get a little fast, as we head south towards the coffee shop in Corona del Mar, depending on who’s there, but return trip home, is typically a very mellow ride along the beach bike path.

But today’s ride was unlike any other Wednesday. Not only were there more of us than usual (11), but more of the really fast riders were there as well, i.e. Brian, Brad, Guido (with a name like that you know he has to be fast), Scotty, and Cory (the 20 year old), so the ride along the beach was not to be.

The ride seemed more like a Thursday ride than a Wednesday ride.

Not only was the ride to Corona Del Mar faster than normal, but the ride back was even faster. At least it seemed faster, as I was not able to stay with the group the entire ride home.

I did manage to stay in untill about half way back, but at 32 mph, which is my top end on the flat (and we were on flat road), I was forced to drop off, somewhere between Goldenwest and Sea Point. I was so tired, I don’t even remember.

Anywaze, while I am disappointed in my performance, I do have a good excuse, having raced yesterday, among other things, at least I wasn’t the only one unable to keep up the pace. Plus it was a good workout, and now I don’t have to feel bad about not riding tomorrow.
