Double Day

Now I can’t even remember the last time I did a double day. But today was the day. I met my buddy Erik at 7 and we rode the roadies from El Segundo to Torrance along the Strand. Maybe my trail ride last night came back to haunt me or I am out of shape. Whatever it might be – Erik put the hurt on. On the way back we paced each other into 3 separate 2 minute sprints that averaged 23 mph. Now I am not a Cat 5 rider so that was painful, but awesome. After a busy day moving paper I met my wife on the Chip Trail in Manhattan at business close and we put in a four miler. She two wanted to add intervals into the workout and I found myself barely holding on. Awesome.
