A recovery ride

I joined Paul today on his weekly "Scholls Sunday Summits" ride. The Worst Day of the Year Ride siphoned the rest of the regulars off so it was just us two today. Paul has been a bit under the weather lately and suggested a "recovery" ride. It was raining as we discussed this and it seemed like a good idea!

Note to folks, Paul's idea of a recovery ride may not be your idea of one. We rode 33 miles, a nice little route that included 3002 ft of climbing of some of the Scholls' area summits.

We weren't out to set records today. We planned on a nice Sunday ride and that was what we got. Though drippy when we started the weather improved as the day progressed. After our little hill climbing sojourn Paul and I visited and snacked a bit at Metro Perc.

As we went our separate ways I looked at the now mostly sunny skies and decided that this was the best day of the last several and since I've got big bike plans for the summer that I should probably ride a bit more.

In keeping with the recovery ride theme I didn't push hard, just base miles. I rode out to the Lake Stop Store near Hagg Lake and back. It added 45 miles and another 682 feet to the day's total.
