A little over the top

I think - no I know - that I overdid it (just a little bit) today. It was a workday sandwiched between a weekend and a holiday. The weather forecast for today was hot & sunny and the forecast for tomorrow seems to imply that there will be thunderstorms.

It was a ride-to-work day for me, which usually means I ride between 36 and 40 miles. But somehow my normal mileage jumped out of the window... It was a quiet work day, and the few of us who were in all decided that an early end to the day was in order. That meant I rolled out of the door with plenty of time to ride. My total for today? 51 miles!

Yes, I do ride that far on non-work days - but it was a bit of a stretch for me with that kind of riding sandwiching a 7-hour work day.

I'm a tired but happy cyclist tonight.
