Road Bike 1:42:24 [3] 27.2 mi (15.9 mph)
Rail trail - no pain! Knee did not bother me this time.
The rail trail is a really hard place to do an easy/recovery effort ride sometimes. I was passing people no problem going 17.2 with a very slight tail wind. However, one guy I passed (who I KNOW was going slower the whole rest of the time because I passed him going the other way before i hit my tur around) laid on the effort and sprinted back past me... just before he hit his finish point. Another guy "cargo shorts and world's biggest fanny pack" put on the effort to pass me back about 2 miles before the end of the trail hitting the end maybe 100m in front of me. Congratulations, you passed a girl on a recovery ride. You're such a man... OOohh, did I want to kick it in and show him what was up. No no, focus on the plan. Focus on the planned ride. I kept it under control.
