Somedays or nights everything is perfect; strong tailwind, smooth roads, no tailgaiters, bike purrs, suns at your back, smell of a fresh cut field etc. Other days or nights it's the opposite. When I get the feeling that it's just not right I usually head back to the barn.

I'm glad to hear your comments. Thought it was just me on those days when the stops and starts are anything but smooth and you feel like a goober on a foreign object. In thinking about it I guess everything we do that requires some form of mechanical skills, golf, tennis or riding a bike, can have good days and bad days.

When I was a long distance runner we called them "junk miles". No matter how far you went you never got a decent pace down or really loosened up. Some guys would just stop and walk rather than continue. Glad to see I'm not the only one out there that's experienced this. Thanks.

I think we all have those days occasionally. Seems like if I head out the next day, it's the complete opposite.....everything is smoother.
