Arrgghh! It felt like day 2 on a multi day ride.
After my 200k yesterday, I commented to Lori that I probably should ride this morning. She agreed. I texted Mike B to confirm that he too was riding and committed to riding.
Legs aching, I pulled myself out of bed to honor that commitment. I fought off the temptation to text Mike and tell him I wasn’t coming out. I got ready, and soon was out the door on my way to the Rusty Bridge. Traffic was unruly. It felt cold. My legs hurt. But, I got there.
Soon enough the legs were happy, spinning easy. On the hill on Old County Rd Mike, Bryan, and I let the fast guys go and took it easy the rest of the way. We had a lot of conversation and even the traffic lightened up. It made for a very nice recovery ride.
And I got back home before 7 a.m. That means I finished 150 miles in that 24 hour period.
For the month, 188 miles.
Total distance since June 1, 2013 = 5,168
Total funds raised for the Malaria Campaign = $6,840
