I had a rest day yesterday, resolved to doing a 50Km ride today in order to reach my 2009 cycling goal of 4000Km. But today I just didn't have the legs for it, and I was feeling a bit down because of the weather. I did 43Km (the Nudgee ride). It was a tough ride today - more headwinds than I anticipated, and overall not particularly pleasant. Which is not to say it was unpleasant. Just not ZEN! I think the other day's ride really raised the bar.

The good news is that I managed to get a whole ride in without getting rained on. Very happy about that! The moment I got home and got the bike inside, the heavens opened up and it's now pouring. So I'm glad I didn't do the entire 50Km after all. The last 7Km would've been yucky.

So now I am frustratingly close to 4000Km and I must do another 8Km before the day is out. Near enough is not good enough! Thankfully, 8Km is nothing, so I'll be able to do that pretty quickly sometime this afternoon.
