Recovery Ride

Last night I didn't ride. It was raining when I got home from church, so I didn't do my normal neighborhood course. I wasn't sure if I would ride tonight either because I had to go to a picnic.

I got home in time to get in fifteen miles. However, I didn't use my heart monitor. I just used it as a recovery ride. The distance was 15.26 miles. I averaged 15.5 mph. I hit a top speed of 39.8 mph. It took me just under one hour. The main thing is that I did that without really feeling like I pushed myself.

Tomorrow night, I won't ride -- maybe five miles or just enough to keep my legs loose. Saturday morning, I'll be taking my longest ride to date.
