Sleeeep
First of the higher mileage days today. It was overcast, and the wind kicked up shortly after I left, so I spent much of the ride wondering if I was going to get rained on. Which would have been fine, actually - I'm curious about how the fairing will handle rain.
But it didn't. The organic and inorganic machines performed well. I'm now in the tired slump that happens at the beginning of every riding season...for the next couple of days it'll be tough to get on the trike. After that I'll be on the upswing and I'll have to lengthen my rides to keep training up. When I've done two fully-loaded six-hour days back-to-back and I'm looking forward to the third day (instead of dreading it like ebola), I'll be ready. Mostly.
And now, an Unrelated Pop Culture Aside™. Have you seen these M-azing candy bar things they're peddling? ("They," of course, being the vast undifferentiated Candy Conglomerate that makes all of the sugary fat-laden crap that drives up health insurance premiums). Product synopsis: M&Ms mixed into a chocolate bar. The accompanying advertising campaign uses a chocolate bar/M&M love story theme. Piles of M&Ms next to a chocolate bar in front of a fire, or in the back of a station wagon parked at Makeout Point.
Which immediately makes me think that an M-azing bar is the result of hot liquid M&M-on-chocolate bar action. And I don't want that in my mouth.
With that: I must now commence to resembling a vegetable.
