A good ride and workout but was maybe a bit more ambitious than it should have been as I found myself running out of steam in the last 10-15 km. I encountered a headwind on the way back that I had forgotten about along River Road and Allard Crescent. I had forgotten the impact this has on an upright bike. It's not normally a problem on my recumbent trike. I also had a minor crash in the last 5 km on the way back on a paved path with may have been due in part to my quickly draining energy. I overcooked a curve trying to avoid vegetation that had encroached a paved multi-use path and the wheels hit a rut. My fault, I over compensated trying to keep the bike upright. I slid quite a ways on the pavement after going down. A bit of road rash on my left knee, hip and shoulder and my helmet is toast. The bike faired much better with only a minor scrape on the handlebars as it stayed put while I slid on the pavement. I probably should have gone straight home from Starbucks instead of trying to get in an extra 5 km. I feel fine now, but we'll see what tomorrow brings when the endorphins and dopamine have dissipated.
