It stopped raining before dark so I got out on the Rain Unit since the roads were still wet. I did my normal 10 mile easy route and then did a 3 mile walk/run right after. Running right now for me is no fun, sort of seems like it is a bit of a torture, like the price you have to pay for being weak.
Cycling is much more fun.
Last night I also found out about
this local charity ride for the county animal shelter. It is only about five miles from my house, I could ride my bike to it. I have ridden in the area before, very nice and remote place to have a ride. It is in May so I think I might do it. I have never ridden in a group but there are only like 150 riders. They have 100k, 50k and 10 mile rides you can choose from. I might do the 50k just to get my feet wet with the group riding thing. I doubt it if will be very competitive except maybe in the 100k ride. I think I can handle 50k even in a group setting, I have done it in one ride before, on my own.
A $25.00 donation to the animal shelter seems worthwhile and I get to do a group ride for the first time, somewhere I am familiar with, hard to resist. I forgot to mention that I also heard the food at the
ride is excellent, prepared by a local chef......I'm in.
I even found
another ride the week before that is about 20 miles away but it has over 500 riders and offers a 100 mile ride among other shorter rides, but I think it may sell out the registration limit. I don't think I will do that one this go round.
I stumbled across the local ride last night while I was playing with the maps on Strava.
