Other ways to get ready

For several reasons, I did not ride today. First, there were lots of things that needed to be done around the house, especially with our upcoming trip to CA to see the grandkids. Second, I needed to rest my strained groin muscle a day, and hope that will do the trick. I think I need to spend more time warming up before I ride, and ride at a pace that will last for a long ride. I can do that. Finally, I went to the REI in Bellingham to attend a Bike Maintenance 201 class. It was really worthwhile, and I learned how to make some adjustments to my 'bent. I also picked up more of the necessary supplies I'll take along. That's it for today, and I'll ride a bit tomorrow.
