A day to rest

After a nice ride on Monday and another good Tuesday ride, I woke up with a fair amount of soreness. I was pushed hard at my second job last night (I will spare you of the politics) and I think that really put me over the top.

Yesterdays ride was really fun. Steve and I started off at pace, deciding to relax a bit and just get some mileage in. Of course Chester shows up, or I should say blows by us and we are instantly chasing. We regrouped and let Chester make several leaps off the front but our pace was elevated from the agreed upon level. I chased Chester up the Montecito climbs and caught him several times. I was trying not to jump out and reel him in, but keep a steady quick pace as is more my style. I like to attack at the end of climbs if at all. Anyway, Chester peeled off to get back to work so Steve and I set up the climb to Mtn Dr. Once at the top we settled back into a steady pace and made our ways back to work.

I was 50/50 on riding with the Wed OSM group until I spent 5 straight hours lifting heavy boxes at work. Couple that with my alarm cat waking me up at 5am netting me 4 hours of sleep and I decided it was a needed day off the bike. Tomorrows another day and the bike will always be there. So on that note, I'll see you tomorrow!
