Back in the saddle after an unfortunate 3 week hiatus.
I road the old standby once around the block. It felt good, but awkward. My riding form has regressed, and I was peddling squares all ride. It was even more pronounced than earlier this year. My mind was used to riding a certain way, but the body wasn't co-operating.
I had company along the way, too, for a bit. He complimented me on my bike. I kind of brushed him off which makes me feel bad. I would like to have a riding partner, but someone closer to my abilities. He said he rides with some others a couple of times a week. That's more than I have done. Luckily, he was at the end of his ride because we parted company early in mine.
After the ride, I checked my cycling computer. I was amazed at what the readout was: 12.95 miles in 45 minutes! I don't believe it. I think the battery is dying or it needs to be recalibrated. Those numbers are above my usual and it didn't feel it.
I need to ride more this month.
