(This was taken on a hill outside Tomales.)Actually, it is about my body acting its age. As you can see below, I cut back my mileage after the first week of March. I was definitely pushing too hard! Two long rides that first week were unbelievably delightful experiences, but my body wasn't ready to increase total distance so fast. Going from Healdsburg to Tomales and back was exhilarating. It is always satisfying riding to a place that feels so far away ...
Last week I did two Training Rides with the Sonoma County group I met through the ALC/6 site. The organized rides set more modest goals, accomodating a wider range of experience and preparation among the riders who show up. It is clear that this turtle doesn't need to chase the hare.
