That was much more enjoyable than Wednesday. A couple twists on the rear derailleur's barrel adjuster and I'm shifting like a champion. Soaked the heart rate sensor strap in water before leaving and it worked perfectly. Crazy what happens when you get on the Internet and search out stuff. Gotta love Duck Duck Go. Also decided to take another stab at zone 2 and it also went better than expected. 72% Zone 2 and 25% Zone 3 I'm pretty happy. Granted I was slow as molasses, but the goal is to get my cardiovascular system back into shape after its greatest stress in the past 6 weeks was taking my sizeable butt up the stairs. Here's hoping! Otherwise everything about the ride was great. Nice and chill this morning heading down to breakfast and after. Ride home was super hot but taking it nice and easy and taking a few drinks at every stop helps tons. Also, never thought I'd say this but, a little wind, yes even a head wind, on the way back helps to keep you cool when you do have to stop. Looking forward to a relatively chill weekend and my girls finally getting home Sunday night.
