I understandably took today off from bike commuting to let my traumatized legs recover from the weekend's effort. I can't ever recall operating at the red-line for so long as I did on Sunday. The TT and the crit absolutely killed me. I had nothing left and I experienced exactly what it feels like to struggle and hold on to the back of the peloton.

Instead of doing the forty miles of commuting, I rode about twenty miles of small ring slow rolling and I did the Muffin Ride on my own. My legs handled it ok and it was actually enjoyable to ride at a relaxed pace. I tacked on a few more miles at the end just for good measure.
