So I went out on my road bike, just by myself, with no computer or anything.

It sucked, guys. I hated it.

Seriously, riding a training ride in the city with no way except perceived exertion to meter yourself is dull as hell if you're competitive. It's days like this that I miss having a mountain bike and a place to ride it. Training without feeling like training.

You can't just go out and see the sights and enjoy a road bike in a city like Montreal. There's no inherent joy of riding here.
