Day 8

Picture of the fog approaching Belpre

Day 8 started out a bit chilly – around 48 degrees.  The cooler temperature brought out a beautiful fog.  I love fog because it makes the air feel crisp and clean (hahahaha, clean).  The conditions made me want to go on a long ride and skip past work but I decided I should be responsible.

I had the quickest trip to/from work so far; roughly around 49 minutes around a 17 mph average.  It felt good and made me want to set a date to do a time trial to and then one from work.  I’ll take a look at the calendar in the next few days and let you know.  For the rowers following this blog, just think of it as a 10k or 12k test.

Work went by relatively quick even with the extra hour.  I jumped on the bike hoping for the same conditions home but there was a slight cross wind and traffic was exceptionally loud.  An ambulance blew past me on route 7 and scared the s@#& out of me.  I can handle the semis and large whatever a few feet from me but the noise surprises me sometimes.

I made it up to Marietta at a normal return pace.  I did a few errands around the ol etta then dropped the mountain bike off at the Palace (home) and took ol blue back to storage where I picked up the Ferrari.  Again, the Ferrari is fast!  Have I mentioned that before?  haha

So I’m approaching the end of week 2 and 1/3 of the way through 30 days.  The legs are getting strong and I’m anxious to get on a long ride with the Ferrari.  DB and I are hitting up a little ride Saturday morning so I can show him the few little things I know about cycling (he’s a novice but got his own lil Ferrari).

Come join for a trip or two!

Until tomorrow.

Night.
