Back in the saddle

After my 3 week long purgatory of no bike riding, I eagerly jumped on the road bike Friday for some much needed miles. The weather was in the 60's so some saddle time was a must. My goal for the weekend was 3 days of as much riding as my body would allow. I wanted to stay off dirt for another week to let my wounds continue to heal.
Friday's ride was spent hitting all the short climbs in my zip code. I rode with, threw and around traffic. My only mistake was timing, I forgot about school getting out and had to battle a couple school buses. I got off the busy streets and headed out to the islands. There is quite a bit of construction out that way, so the road bike got some dirt on it and I got to battle the lake winds.
Saturday came, Becky asked "what do you want to do today?" My response " ride my bike and drink some beer." I headed back out to the islands, there was more wind and the temps were cooler, but had a good ride none the less. We had some good chinese food for dinner and picked up some Yuengling B&T to enjoy for the evening. Both days left my legs feeling spent, so I thought a 3rd day of riding was out of the question.
Sunday came and I was reluctant to ride. My legs were tender and I just didn't want to get on the rode again. The commuter was sitting in the garage unsold and unridded. I had built the commuter to get back and forth to work, but my boss wants me drive all over the map at a moments notice, so it has gone unused. Becky wanted to get our interest free loan to the government back from the government and she needed my W-2. I could only print it at work, so what better excuse to ride the commuter. I have it set up 36 x16 with mountain tires. Perfect for the hilly terrain around the house. I took my time getting to work, I rode the greenway and some nature trail. The legs felt great and it was good to be back on a SS.
Something about riding SS that clears the thoughts and senses. Before the end of the ride Sunday I had decided to do all my training for Snake 2.0 on the commuter (Vassago is waiting on parts). There will be no trainer riding unless work puts me in a bind. Back on the supersecret training plan and diet Monday.
Early review of the snoz job is positive. I am actually breathing through my nose, there is a bit more runoff (if you catch my drift) when I ride, but I think that will clear up the farther I get out from procedure. Felt strong on the Friday and Sunday rides, could be due to the snoz work or could be that I'm 12 lbs lighter. Not sure, but I'm sure the Snake we'll sort it out.
Couple other things going on, but I will save it for another post. Not bike related, but some online venting will probably help.
