Spent some quality time with my therapist on Saturday afternoon. It was a gorgeous day, so after doing the bare minimum of chores, I hoped on the baby Ninja and set off for a late lunch to my favorite Dutch deli in Pella. Since they close at 4 pm on Saturday's, I didn't get too creative on the route there because it's either traverse several small towns of hit the interstate and traverse several small towns. I opted for the first one.
But after a tasty lunch of a heated Dutch bologna (it's like summer sausage) and smoked Gouda sandwich, I headed home by the least direct route possible.
When all was said and done, it was 5 1/2 hours of much needed bliss. I was long overdue for an extended ride. I've noticed that I'm getting a lot smoother, quicker, and lower going through corners. Seems the yoga classes combined with saddle time is paying dividends.
The bike will likely remain in the garage for the better part of this week and Memorial Day weekend since it's supposed to rain every day and we have a ton of graduation events to attend.
