10am Saturday January 22
Today had a hard start. Not physical but mental. I woke up before the alarm, made the mistake of looking at the time. Before 4am which is usually good news, I can go back to sleep for another hour! But, I had in the back of my mind that this might be another rain day. Instead of a nice dose I got myself into worry about what might happen on the road and in the end at 5am I pulled the plug and stayed in bed. Really a second day in a row where I could have ridden and did not!
I made up for it a little. Went out before 9am and rode my route backwards. Probably the last 5K of this route is on bike paths. I rode out 5 and back. Not fast. A lot of recon as this was the first time I had ridden it in this direction. If I had gotten in 10K in NH in January I would be very satisfied, it is just that in relation to what I could be doing down here, this is too little.
