05-16-11 Shuttle Launch Recovery Ride

It was a beautiful clear day so I decided to do a recovery ride and head up to the north end of town to see the shuttle launch. As I was heading north I saw a bank of clouds to the north which could interfere with the view. I arrived about 10 mi ahead of the launch and got a shaded seat on the side of a small hill with a good sight line to the north. Unfortunately between the cloud bank and hazy glare, I never did see anything.

This being a recovery ride, I kept my cadence high and the effort to a minimum. Any time I felt any effort in my legs, I dropped down to a lower gear and spun faster. Speed was unimportant.
