Howdy folks,

The holiday is officially over.

Damnit.

If you raced yesterday, I hope it went well, and that you had a blast!

If you didn’t race, Well… I hope you had a great day anyways.

So, what about today?

It’s Tuesday, and that means 2×20’s, right?

Not if you raced yesterday, it doesn’t.

Ditto if you had a hard day of non racing.

Sound like you?

No 2×20’s for you today. Maybe later in the week 🙂

Today, you’re taking it easy, and doing a nice, relaxing…

One Hour Recovery Spin –

– Get on your bike. Roll out into the street, and just spin around for an hour.

Really small gear, no hard efforts – heck, no medium effort. Spin. You’re looking to move your legs around in circles, almost like there is no chain on the bike. The idea is to get your body moving, flush the systems out, and speed your recovery.

When you do your recovery ride -if you have the time- just get out and spin aimlessly. At a certain point, your legs suddenly feel better.

As soon as that happens, turn around, go home, eat, stretch, and put your legs up.

…or, you know, go to work.

Or School.

Or whatever real-world hassle you have to deal with. 

If, on the other hand, you took it easy yesterday?

you guessed it.

It is, in fact, 2×20 Tuesday!

You can do the Classic 2×20 –
