I Will Ride 100 Miles
… and (next weekend) I will ride 100 more. I tried putting up one of those fancy video clips like I’ve seen on so many of you guys’ blogs but the video for “500 Miles” by The Proclaimers wasn’t working. Oh well.
So the ride yesterday was OK. I’ve had better, but I’ve had worse. I pushed off at an early 6 AM and managed to beat nearly all the heat. I carried a whopping four water bottles with me on my ride and boy could I tell - it was like trying to maneuver a tank! Two of the bottles were monster sized bottles and I can only guess what the weight of the four was all together? I was happy to get my hydration underway and to get some of the weight off my frame.
It did get a little warm towards the end, but really only the last 30 minutes felt like I was riding into a hair dryer. It was hot, but not as hot as I thought it was going to be. Just a couple of bad patches during the ride, but as always the patches get better a few miles down the road. Hope you all had a good weekend of training or R&R! Tomorrow starts another work week. :(
