Down the Bunny Trail
Down the Bunny Trail 🐰 Today felt like biking down the bunny trail: I went out for a short ride, and I saw some rabbits! They live in the woods/underbrush alongside the river; and I hope they aren’t getting flooded out. The river has risen over the past week. Easter is a day for chocolate; and of course I’ve enjoyed some. I’m trying to control myself, though; I hardly need all those calories! In fact, I might have gone farther down the bunny trail — and gotten more calorie burn — if not for knowing I’d have a headwind on the way home! I was lazy today; but now I’m thinking of getting back to work. Back to Work 🚵🏽 This past week I eased up on both mileage and effort level; and now I have to get back to work. Unfortunately it looks like the weather might not be very cooperative for the next three days. Complicating my back-to-work plan is, I want to take my road bike in for its pre-RAGBRAI tune-up. Of course I can ride the hybrid while the road bike is in the shop; but that really isn’t the same when it comes to training. Well, there’s this: riding the hybrid at X miles per hour takes more effort than trying for the same pace on the road bike. Ergo it’s useful for pace development. On the other hand, I don’t have a handlebar bag for the hybrid. That means using the trunk; and I have to stop and dismount whenever I want to get a bite to eat. It’s a nuisance when I want to keep rolling down the bunny trail!
