Went for a ride yesterday morning. Was really just going to the COTS trail to see how long the ride is from home. Got to the trail and thought, "I'll just go to the summit of the trail".
At the summit I did a couple circles then said screw it and headed for the Spokane River at the south end of the trail.
17 miles from home and I was at the river.
The new bridges for the trail and for the bypass by SCC. I turned around and headed for home a little bit more direct. I was about a mile or 2 from home when the soreness hit but it was mellow and level to the downhill leading to our road.
First time I have ridden to the river and back so was a pretty nice ride. I was pushing pretty good in a number of sections so likely why I was worked by the end.
Got a shit ton of PRs on segments and in power.
After devouring food once home and resting a bit I was out in the garden and got a basket of stuff from the greenhouse.
J had his xc meet at Lakeside so @stryeyz came home and we all drove down.
All the girls ran first then all the boys. You can see the burn scar on the hills in the background. This was the Autumn Lane fire which started just down the hill by the river.
4 schools at the meet so was a good sized starting bunch.
J did good and kept a pretty solid pace the whole 1.5 miles.
They finished around the track.
Then into the finish chute. I haven't seen his time or place yet but he was about the middle of the field.
He was hungry so we were one of the first families out of the stadium and drove next door to the Zips for dinner. Thankfully we were in first before the line built with other families having the same idea. We headed for home after most of the traffic had died down.
After my shower the family was excited about the long horned beetle hanging on the screen. I went out and grabbed it as it scritched its legs against its shell to make noise. The things have huge mandibles that I always make sure to keep away from.
Holy shit this morning's group ride kicked my ass after the ride yesterday. I will be resting my super sore body this morning then will try to get some stuff done around the house and property.
