It's Not Real Until You Do It Again!
Not too much drama today. Did 100 miles in 90+ degree humid weather, burning about 7500 calories. The blacktop made it seem a lot hotter. Had to stop many times to drink lots of fluids and cool down. For that reason, it took 7 hours and 13 minutes... As a frame of reference, my 113 mile ride took me 7 hours and 37 minutes. In case, you're not a math genius... that's pretty dang slow. I know it seems foolish to bike in that kind of weather, but I won't be able to avoid it on the road, so I might as well get used to it!
The ride ended with me feeling pretty healthy and no real pain. Never has air conditioning felt so good.
Thank you all again for your support on the ride and for the foundation... we are approaching $20,000 now on our way to $25,000. If you haven't donated and would like to, or know someone that would, please visit the following link. We're so close, please help reach my goal.
