It&#8217;s been so long since I&#8217;ve ridden that even I was starting to question whether or not I could still ride. I got out there today. It wasn&#8217;t fast. But at least I proved I can still ride from time to time.<\/p>\n<p>It is really windy today, maybe one of the windiest days I&#8217;ve gone out riding. I pushed hard into the wind going down El Camino, but it was all for naught. Instead of getting a good time, all I managed to do was burn through what little power I had managed to regain after yesterday&#8217;s run.<\/p>\n<p>I toyed briefly with the idea of going up through Rancho Santa Fe and down to Encinitas to come back along the beach (with a massive tail wind), but it just sounded like too much riding on my burned out legs. So I decided to take the &#8220;easy&#8221; way and go up the three witches up to Camin del Sur, then down to the 56 bike trail and home.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn&#8217;t a terrible ride until the end when I just had nothing left. I was in granny gear and could barely get myself back up Carmel Country Road. It was pretty sad, but I still had fun.<\/p>\n<p><iframe height='405' width='590' frameborder='0' allowtransparency='true' scrolling='no' src='https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/83527336\/embed\/429f60f9f4bf5970637220d14d58a0250cf14413'><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some people have been asking me if I broke my bike.
