I wanted to ride the Thursday Night Worlds tonight. Scheduling seemed to fall into place so I took advantage of it. I wanted to take it easy knowing that Sunday I will be entering the pain cave with a SERC/GSC race. I have not done one of their races since last summer. With cross coming up I realized I needed to hurt.

I did keep it easy for the first 18 or so miles and then my legs warmed up. I went through 3 bottles of HEED and then ended the ride with Muscle Milk. My legs felt surprisingly good. Hopefully I didn't burn the candle from both ends for Sunday. Only race day will tell.

The Bike Store gang should be in full force..... Green and Black everywhere. Who's going?
