For the first time in a long time I had one of those days on the bike when everything just felt great. There were a number of times when I looked down and thought the garmin must be wrong when seeing the speed I was cruising at. Almost felt like there was no chain as I was just zipping along smooth as can be. When I pulled into my resupply stop I noticed I had held what I thought was my best time on this particular loop this season. I was at around 16.4mpg at that point for an average. My previous best was a little over 15. I was really just hoping to stay strong enough to stay in the 16′s for my average. I managed to do better than I had hoped and picked it up to end with a 17mph avg for the ride. Starting to feel like my old self when it comes to riding lately. Damn what a great feeling, most definitely a break through day on my journey back to cycling shape. The plan to hit the road bike hard to get back in shape and slimmed down appears to be working.
