Last night I went out for a quick ride after work. Riding after work is always a little hard because I get home, see Jordan for 15 minutes and then out the door. When I get back she is already sleeping. Well, only a couple more 'night rides'. I rode with Tom again. I headed over to his house via the long route to grab a couple extra miles. We headed out to Stow and up more hills in Harvard. It was the same loop as last week. Nice climbing and also a lot of places where you can cruise along at a nice pace. We had two separate deer sightings. The first was a solo deer standing on the side of the road in someones yard. It was kinda funny, the deer just looked at us, never moved, as if to say, what are those fools doing. Then about 7 miles later we saw two deer bound across the road in front of us and across a field. Amazing!
As we got to the great descent of Oak Hill the rain started. At first it was just a few drops, a few miles later it was a full storm. Annie actually called my cell phone to see if we needed to be picked up. I made it home a little wet but with no problems. The ride ended up being 31 miles and we averaged over 16mph. Based on my schedule it looks as though I have 3 more rides left before the big weekend. I am getting itchy and ready to go.
