bike ride and a plan - Sat. Aug. 19

Discovered last night that there's probably time to register for the Peach Festival classic tomorrow, so I guess I'm planning to run it. Five miles, mainly flat, in Wilbraham, with pancakes to follow. Can't be bad, even if I have to do it alone. 8:30 start will be tough, but worth a shot. Needed however to stretch some today and so took a bike ride (in the very humid weather, the breeze at speed felt great). Gulf Hill's lower section of road has been newly paved, so up 202, along Packardville and then down the hill. Back via Federal and 9.

I cycled: 12.65 miles
it took: 47:07
ave. speed: 16.1 mph

Good x-training, and I hope that 12 hours is enough to recover some legs for the peach run. . . We'll see.
