Well…as you know, I have been feeling lots of pain on the bike and I had to try to figure out what the heck was going on…so, I decided to cut back to only two rides and 25 miles a day starting last Saturday…that made me feel like a slug but the fruits of that decision showed themselves today when I rode both rides without pain for the first time since I started to ride outdoors this year…no thigh or knee pain or any tricep pain either and that has been killing me for better than a month…the only bad thing about that is it makes me feel like my body has just given up some of it’s capability that I’ll never get back…but I am going to try to start alternating 25 and 38 mile days just to see what happens…and I do need to train for the “ride my age” day that has to happen before my birthday in July…I did go crazy at Menards today and bought car wash soap and a new bottle of Meguiar’s wax along with a new wash mitt since the old one is 15 years old an getting pretty raggety…so I spent a hundred bucks today that I shouldn’t have…oh, well…I can always not buy anything next week…
