Man vs. Machine

I got in fifteen more miles last night, riding from home to Bellevue over the I-90 bridge and back. There was a traffic jam on I-90 and cars were going about the same speed as me. I made a game of trying to pass a few, which was fun. I think there is an undeclared war between bikes and cars, and any time you can pass a car on the interstate while riding a bicycle is a small victory.

I got all the way up to 34 mph on the trail back home. Probably shouldn't go faster than that on that stretch, with all the kids, dogs, and walkers.

This brings my weekly total up to 55, which is still short of the 80 that I should be doing, however, I'm getting there.

No knee pain, a little neck pain, a little butt pain, but overall pretty good. It was mid-sixties and overcast so I wore my long sleeve workout shirt, which worked great.
