Lunch: 38.3-mile ride. HR 158.

PM: 4 miles w/ Megan, averaged 10:12. HR 153.

It was sunny and working toward 50 degrees with light winds, so I had to get out on my bike. Enjoyed the ride even though I am way out of shape. Slammed down a Chipotle burrito and went grocery shopping and then went running with Megan about 90 minutes later. I guessed my average HR within 1 beat per minute for the run.

Plan is to ride tomorrow (temps around 51), and hopefully Thursday. I'd like to hit some more dirt roads than cinder urban trails and tar that I did today.

Beautiful day out. It was around 57 when I left. I rode to downtown Rochester and did the Thursday Night Dirt B-Group loop. Gravel was in pretty solid shape. I really wasn't sure what it would look like with all the temperature changes. Didn't get out until later as I was quite hungover and rode for a bit in the dark with the aid of my lights, which I spent a lot of money on for that exact reason.

Off.

Tremendous hangover. We started the day with Megan's uncle and then stayed for a while at Megan's other aunt and uncle's before driving home.

Did the full Thursday Night Dirt Route solo starting from Rochester Mills Brewing Company with the bonus miles of riding to the start and home. Mid-50s and dry. Had to get this in. Criminal not to. Definitely my last ride of the year and I doubt I will get any more gravel rides in for a while as this gift of weather will not last. Headed to Maine tomorrow for 6 days before the semester starts up.

First full day in Maine. Megan was on the move today. She motored some of the hills. 8 years on the blog today.
