My training plan called for a 60 minute recovery Elliptigo ride. As I did it, I appreciated that the word “recovery” was placed into the description of what I was supposed to do. My upper legs did not feel fresh and ready to GO as I got started. They continued to be wearisome the entire ride. I rode past Hillview and continued from Bolz Ranch Road onto 45th west deciding to simply turn around at 30 minutes.

I turned around near the corner of M8.  It was then that I noticed that the breeze was coming from the south. 4 of the returning miles were uphill and upwind. In total I rode 14 miles in 66 minutes. (6 minutes longer for the return trip…)
