MapMyRide - A ride mapped on 07/26/2010 in Salt Lake City, UT
A nice simple recovery day today. A little less motivated becuase I know I only have 150 miles to go. I never thought 150 miles in a week would make me think "Easy." I feel pretty confident that I am going to hit 1000. Just need to "stay the course" and "focus on the fundamentals" two of my favorite post game sports quotes. Best part of today is I bumped up into a guy named "Bill" on my way to work as I was dropping down 45th South. He hooked onto my wheel and I pulled a mile or two at about 22-23 mph. He was probably early 60's. As I turned right on 900 East he yelled out to me and said "Let me take a turn," Heck why not, some one wants to block the wind for me. Can do. As he pulled past he said "You are dragging that big back pack, I can help" (When I ride to work on Mondays, I take all my work clothes, computer, lunch, etc... My bag weighs about 25 lbs) Bill pulled in front and proceeded at about 14mph. He was working hard and I thought what he did was cool. As I turned down my street to work, I said thanks he reached out and shook my hand like we had just finished a Tour stage. When I grow up I want to be that guy. It was pretty cool.
