AM: 11 miles, averaged 8:25. HR 134. 

I decided to go a little longer and just kept it easy and did a slight variation on my typical loop to get in a bit more elevation gain. 

Messed around with the dishwasher off and on throughout the day trying to get it fixed. Decided not to do Thursdy Night Dirt so Megan could go to the gym and I could do a lighter bike ride. 

PM: 2 hours 8'. 37.2 miles @ 17.6 MPH. 201W. HR 120. 

A few roads were a little muddy, but not too bad. Temperature was dropping quite a bit. HR rate actually dropped throughout the ride.
