Today the motivation was lacking. I was sore and really didn't want to get out on the bike, but I knew had to kick start my lazy ass and get on the road. I sent out a couple of emails and out came John and Mark came to my rescue and we went on a quick 22 mile recovery ride with me.
This was the first time I was able to ride with both of them. Early in the season, I rode once with John, but we have not been able to ride since. The two of them are both strong riders and we had a blast out on the windy roads of the Tri Valley.
While our intent was that the ride be for recovery each of us had to have a bit of fun and crank it up a bit. Still, by the time we were done getting rained on and logging the miles we had averaged around 15 mph and really enjoyed the ride. Hopefully, we will all be able to take another ride this coming Wednesday up Mount Diablo. It will be the first time I have been up the 'Block of Granite' this year. It should be another good test of where the knee is in the recovery process. We will have to see how far up the mountain we go, but however far we ride, it will still be about the journey not the destination.
