17.4 miles
I rode the same route as yesterday: down Associated to Rolling Hills, then trough the park, onto Golden and down Rose to the trail. Then I came back on Kramer. A few notes:
1) I figured out how to make my new shoes even better: wearing two pair of socks. This makes the shoes fit better and eases up the hot spots. The only downside is that it was 94 degrees out.
2) I have gotten to bed quite late the last couple of nights. I could tell that my legs were not as strong because my body was tired.
3) Sometimes it is in everybody's best interest if I take the sidewalk. I usually don't take the sidewalk because pushing the crosswalk button often makes the light stay red longer, thus slowing people down. Instead I just ride with traffic. Which is what I did today, but there was a lot of traffic around the 91 and as I navigated past the on-ramps I was just in the way. No one honked at me, but I just couldn't flow with the traffic there.
