Money in the bank

As promised, I took pictures. It was another beautiful day to be on a bike. The wind picked up a little bit toward the end, but it wasn't really a big deal. Most importantly, I got my work in and my back didn't hurt (and doesn't now). That's a win.

Part of that could be from the bike. The SSL came back out to play yesterday. It's even better than I remembered. I ran the road tubeless pressure at 90psi, which smoothed out those less-than-stellar Douglas and Washington County roads. The overall ride quality is ... well, it's awesome. I love that bike.

If there's a downside, though, it's the legs. The combined effects of the previous two weeks are starting to stack up. There's not a whole lot of snap in the legs right now, and there were a couple of stretches where I thought my back brake was rubbing. Turns out I'm just shy of cooked.

Anyway, I have two for-real workouts left in this three-week work block, and then it's on to a rest week. I love the first day of a rest week: "OK, I have to get kitted up and then ... wait. No I don't. Yes!"

Until then, though, there's still a little more work to do.
