I really wanted to keep on going - but, at the same time, you have to listen to your body, when it tells you "no". That's just one of the rules. I don't make them, I just follow them. And, it doesn't necessarily have to be your body screaming that it's in pain - a gentle whisper of tiredness is quite enough.
So, today has been quiet so far. Lots of admin (this always makes me feel better) and a quick bite to eat in Epsom, for lunch. Weather has turned, a bit, too. How annoying! I was hoping to keep pushing away at the bike rides, as spring finally took hold. Instead, it feels like we're taking a step backwards.
I've also done some minor mechanical things today - chief among those was the replacement of the pedal bodies for the Assioma Duo's. They were five years old, and I must have put at least 40,000km on them, so it's hardly surprising that they'd reached the end of their lifespan. A welcome side effect of new pedal bodies is just how quiet the bike is, now. The old pedals were contributing so much noise, so much rattling. The bike now feels taut, sounds silent.
