Sunset bike ride

I just finished a 16.673km bike ride that lasted about 0hh:42mm:59ss !

I skipped my run planned on Monday and thought I would run on Tuesday in the morning. Of course, that didn't happen! So let's run in the evening as usual. Oh wait, a late afternoon meeting I forgot about. Oh well, no time and no motivation for a proper run. So I decided to go for a bike ride instead. First one since almost 3 weeks ago but unlike running, I don't seem to loose my 'cycling fitness', or at least very slowly. Even after months without riding, I can pick up my bike and go for an hour or more ride with no problem, and at pretty much the same speed and intensity. Indeed, I got 2 PRs on Strava segments, and 2 second fastest. Not bad! Of course, it's mostly because I wanted to ride enough miles before it got too dark, and it became too dangerous with no light.

So once again, I started while the sun was setting and my very first stop was a view point near the golf course for sunset pictures. And even though I was late, I couldn't help but stop at multiple locations for more sunset pictures.

Plenty of deer families out there again, destroying front yards! Plenty of other critters, but when biking, it's a little bit more difficult to spot wildlife. Nothing else really special about the ride, no dog chasing me especially...
Hopefully I can finally go for my run on Wednesday, so the table below keeps looking less and less weak.
