Road Ride - A Bit Rusty!

12 Mar 2009 - Eugene Did a short road ride today (1 hr 20 mins), up Blanton and then up McBeth (or McDeath as I recently heard someone call it - not warranted though, decent hill, but certainly no death, McLean, Chambers, and certainly Blanton the hard way, and others put it to shame). I felt pretty rusty, ouch! Ride was quite nice though, amazing weather today! Gorgeous sunny conditions, and cool at about 48-50 degrees (got away with knickers, long sleeves (Icebreaker GT 180 + thin Pearli long sleeve), and a vest). Overall rode pretty well, but again, a bit rusty feeling. Also felt a bit of tightness in my calves and some of that same strain/weakness in my right quad. Doesn't bode well for doing an epic ride on Saturday. But, I may just wind up doing Brice Creek, as somewhat itching to ride the mtb again. Hey, maybe the secret new prototype types will arrive tomorrow so I can ride them Saturday, that'd be cool!
