I was doing an outstanding job of keeping this a recovery ride until I got to the section of Flamingo between Town Center and Hualapai. A little voice in my head, which sounded very much like David Burns, said, “Elvis you’re only 4 seconds from the KOM on this segment.” I then proceeded to do my best and fell very short of not only the KOM but my PR as well. Stupid stupid stupid. Should have just stuck with the plan.
Overall it was a great ride. Had a good time hanging out afterwards, enjoying a coffee and half a cookie. Spent the rest of the day taking care of chores. Waxed three chains, gave Shadow a wash, and installed my Outbound Lighting mount. Pretty much ready to go. A couple of commutes this week to serve as shake downs and then hit the road Friday.
