Alarm went off early and I really didn't want to get up. About an hour later when I got up I decided to take the day off since I had rode 860 km in the past 8 days. But then I checked the forecast and it was too good to not ride, so I did another 130 km. Forecast indicated tailwind both ways but the wind didn't end up changing.
About an hour into the ride holiday highway traffic picked up significantly so I did rest of the ride on peacefully deserted dirt / gravel roads.
Now that the weather is letting me ride more consistently my HR has been coming down all week. Last Sunday my average HR was 158 and today it was 136.
