The Thursday night Bent Creek CX ride has sort of fizzled. Only two die hard members left, I think that neither one of us had missed a ride since it started at the end of last year. The temps were cool and cooling, cold again by the time we got back home. The roads were a bit soft in some areas, but as we got higher, they were freezing and made rolling smoother and faster. Kevin and I rolled around chatting and then commented that we felt like we were going fast. When I got home and checked the time, we it turns out we had been going faster, than previous times, not by much but definitely faster, and I didn't feel as depleted either.
Friday was time for a recovery ride. I headed out to Black Mtn and up Hwy 9 to the Eastern Continental Divide. I could see clouds building up behind the Black Mountain Range and spilling over into the Swannanoa Valley.
I turned and rolled back down the hill into town and to Dynamite Roasting Co.for a cup of coffee and a scone, my metabolism is kicking and I was hungry...
