32 degrees and some wind. 4 hours, 65 miles. Nice to be outside. Along the way I encountered: An ice flow covering the bike path along the lakefront that made me look like a 5 year old on his first set of skates. I did an indoor time trial this past weekend. I ignored my plan for a long outdoor ride and drove up to do a 30 minute computrainer race. 30 long minutes. It always seems like a fun idea when I register. A few years ago I did my first indoor time trial. I had completed some [...] and day and night and day. I have completed my second PBP and somewhat back to a clear head, though I’m told I look awful.
