A short, real recovery ride. Avg was 14.8 @ turn-around ---> avg'd better than 17 mph on the way back. Made myself "work" up MVC on the way back; on the out, rode easy everywhere.

On Jul-26-2008, I rode 66.9 miles at the "Cup 'n Cone" at an avg pace of 16.6 mph. At the time, it was my fastest ever pace for a 100+k ride.

To maintain the 12-mos. rolling total miles thru the end of July, I need to ride an additional 137 miles by the end of the month. Doesn't seem likely.

Today, handed my right shoe to GaryS of TLC_4_Bikes, to try to dremel one the screws holding the cleat on my right shoe. I need to adjust the cleat position slightly. The "hot-foot" and associated pain yesterday was near excruciating. I could still feel the pain ready to re-emerge big-time during the easy ride this morning, and as I sit at the computer typing this, I can feel residual sensations in the right foot.
