I had to come into work to pick something up so naturally I made sure I did a Fatcake ride too. I was halfway to the bridge when I realized I forgot something in the car and I was exactly late by the amount of time it took to go back. 🤦🏻‍♂️ I ran into Stevo right at the start of the bridge and we were riding hard to catch up but I just don’t have Fatcake fitness anymore - no longer Fatcake fast. I was hoping being late would mean no line at Donut Alley but I was wrong. Went to Equator instead. The climb up to the post-donuts dirt was harder than I remembered. Dirt was great as always but by the time we headed home my lungs were burning and my legs were too. Since I was in the area though, I had to go to Arsicault to pick up some pastries. It felt like I was doing intervals all ride. I’m going to feel it later. I do miss the intensity though. My rides have been too chill during the pandemic.
