Today was a pat myself on the back kind of ride. I woke up at 6:30, saw it was cloudy out, checked weather.com, they predicted rain and thunderstorms. Sat around til about 8 trying to decide what to do, really wanted to get a long ride in but didn't want to do it in the rain. Between 6:30 and 8 no rain, damn, that's an hour and a half I wasted. Said screw it, got dressed, jumped on the bike and started riding, it immediately started drizzling, what to do. This is where I actually thaught of Bruno busting my chops, I decided to take a 10 mile ride and see how things look then. Got to the 10 mile mark, rain had stopped, so I kept on going. Along the way thought of Marc and his 60 milers, says to myself if that lil bastid can do it so can I! In the end wound up with 40 miles at a 17.2 mph avg. This is the best I have done in at least 10 years, and more important then just doing it, was the fact that I felt good all the way, Didn't get 60 miles in, didn't even try, but know that it's within reach. Marc, Bruno, thanks you guys inspired me.
