My plan was a couple days off, but I awoke to sunshine, which mostly went away by the time I was on the bike, but the forecast has the rain holding off until this afternoon, then rain for a couple of days. So, I figured it would be good to get out, even if I was a little tired. I decided on a recovery ride, enjoying the flats out through the Cascine (lots of Sunday traffic) then out Pistoiese (very little traffic on a Sunday) to Seano. I climbed to Carmignano, and even though it was a recovery ride, I threw in a short interval on the climb, well, for most of the climb. Nice stop for cafe in Carmignano, then down to Comeana, where I tried a new route that took me back to Poggio a Caiano. From there, back basically the same way on the flats to Florence. I enjoyed the flats today, which is unusual for me. 51.9 kilometers in 2:01 to average 25.6 kph with 255 meters of climbing.
Looking to the East from my cafe break in the main piazza in
Carmignano today. Nice to get out for a couple hours before
the predicted weather change this afternoon.
The view back to the cafe / bar where I usually have my cafe
in Carmignano. They seem to be getting ready for spring with
additional tables and chairs outside. I only started going here
recently, so it will be interesting to see how the scene changes
with the seasons.
