For some reason, my allergies are in full effect right now giving me a wicked runny nose, sore throat, itchy eyes and a head ache. Damn you allergies. Because of that, I have decided this would be a perfect week to take a little break from some pedaling. I rode once this week, with a bunch of people from work, and while the legs can take it, I don’t think my head can. I think I will just take it easy until the weekend and go for a nice road spin. It should be nice riding up through the notches this weekend. Sure, there will be a bunch of leaf peepers out, but I think the leaves are about done with their colors and things should be ok.
Speaking of riding at work, I can’t really express just how nice it is to actually work in the bike industry and work with people who actually ride a bike. For the past how ever many years that I have worked in the bike industry, I was the only one riding. Maybe one other person at my bike shop rode with me and when I worked at Michelin, no one ever really rode. It is quite nice. I definitely think that changing jobs over to here was one of my best decisions.
