Two weeks in Connectict

So I am in Watertown, CT for two weeks teaching some AP Computer Science workshops. It can be a grind, but the people this year are stellar which is helping my attitude a bit. My goal for these workshops is 12 rides in 14 days. I usually get about two hours in the early afternoon, but I was hoping today I would have more. Not the case.
I spotted a workshop attendee driving in the gate with her bike on the car and chased her down. She was excited as I was to hit the road, so we agreed on 5:15. Ended up doing 13 hilly miles at a pretty slow pace, which was okay given the amount of riding I did yesterday. I haven't found a killer ride yet, but what we rode was fun. Nothing flat, but no super climbs either. A couple of memorable (and scary) descents. It's not hard to hit 35 MPH for an extended period. Maybe I'll try the same route backwards.
It's funny, I usually get to these things and drink a little too much, sleep too little and stay fairly blue all week. With the goal of riding more it's easier to manage all that. Maybe it's nothing to do with riding at all, but whatever it is I'll take it.
