Test ride

With the race tomorrow, and after last week's mess of a ride, I wanted to get Lightning McQueen out for a spin, to make sure everything was ready to go. The weather predictions were iffy at best, but it looked clear enough when it was time to go, so off I went. The plan was to get ~70km, enough for a decent training spin, not too much to burn all my matches. I met up with some folks from TTC, but only one other guy was going long, so it was the two of us for the 60k loop. We kept a good pace, but nothing too draining, taking a few extra km's to avoid some bad roads. The weather was surprisingly nice, except for a westerly wind that picked up as the ride progressed. (Of course, we finished heading west, right into the teeth of it. Could it be any other way?) The repairs to the bike performed perfectly, so I'll be just fine in race conditions tomorrow. Or, to be more accurate, the bike will be just fine. I'll probably be a mess.

Bike: 72 km, zone 1-3
