On Thurs. evening I informed my trainer that I would be cancelling our hour weightlifting session on Friday. I do NOT normally cancel on him but, I had a good excuse. It was November 9th and it was going to be 73 degrees.

I was not trying to get out of a workout, just replace it with a three hour bike ride. Katy Trail style. I wanted to open my legs, lungs, and mind, all at the same time.

I went left at the T

NOT a place to hang your used tube
I love riding the Katy. I can let my mind wander. I can crank my Ipod up . I can hammer it out, or pedal casually. |

As you can tell from the pictures, I had a great time. I rode out for 1 and 1/2 hours, which was 20 miles. Not too shabby. The ride back took me 1:40. Forty miles in 3:10, wind and all. Take advantage of days like this..... there may not be many left.
Ride your bike fast or slow, gravel or trail, just ride it!

I laugh every time I ride past that 'Rough Surface' sign too
ReplyDeleteIt's been great weather for the bike. Could've used a good 20 degrees cooler at yesterday's race, but every time I wanted to complain about the heat I said "What a beautiful day!" instead. I even meant it fir the first 12 miles.
ReplyDeleteI've always wondered about the Katy Trail. Looks like a good idea this time of year! Congrats on the running gear scores too!
