Slept poorly and legs were really weak this morning and with the winds blowing steadily in the mid twenties I had decided to take a rest day. Got bored sitting around the motel though and decided to go out and ride ten or twelve easy miles. Opted to ride on the Trail de Paris as it passes through woods and provides good shelter from the wind. The trail has new pavement between Paris and Reno but is still rather shabby between Reno and Blossum and so got off the trail on a crossroad and headed toward the airport. Explored a couple of small lanes that turned to gravel and then to field and had to backtrack on one occasion. Eventually passed through the cow pastures and found myself back on the highway around ten miles south of Paris. The sun came out and it really got quite nice as I cruised along and listened to the birdsong and my first peepers of the year. Did a couple of high cadence burns on the way back as my legs started feeling stronger but didn't want to push it and ended with a little over twenty five pleasant miles.
