Howdy folks,

It’s Friday!

I hope you’re looking forward to the holiday weekend. I know I am 🙂

Up in my neck of the woods, the first cross real cross race of the season is this Monday, so we’re going to make sure that anyone playing along with us is set up for a race on Labor Day, OK?

Regardless of your plans this weekend, it’s been a hard darn week of training. That means that we’re taking it a little bit easy today and going for a…

1-2 Hour Moderate Ride –

This isn’t a recovery ride.

We want you to relax a bit today, but it’s important that you don’t get your body thinking it’s time to shut things down.

You’re going to go just a bit harder than that.

Put a little bit of muscle into the pedals, but not so much that you ever feel like you’re going hard. Or hard-ish.

Moderate means just that.

Not hard, not easy… right in the middle.

Easy enough that you could hold a conversation with the guy on the bike next to you, but hard enough that the conversation better be damn interesting if you’re going to.

Have some fun.

G’night,

M
