Pooped
Today was day 2 of a 2-day training brick. It felt like day 7 of a 7-day training brick. Yesterday’s ride was tough, but I felt good and strong. Usually the 2nd day… | READ »

Not the Rollers
It was cold this morning, but I was going to ride outside no matter what- I just didn’t have the motivation to sit on the rollers today. By the time I got out… | READ »
