It was a beautiful clear blue sky today and we had to have another rest day. Now the forecast is for rain the next five days. Can’t win them all.
I read one whole book and half of another today. Tomorrow’s ride starts with a very long and somewhat steep hill right from the motel. No warm-up at all. So I laid low all day.
Most riders on this trip are not what I’d call early birds and I am. So it is a little frustrating for me to always have to wait til later to eat breakfast or get in the gear van. However, I seemed to convince a few tomorrow to at least let me start early so I can beat the heat with the hills. I plan to be on the road at 6:30. Waiting til eight or later just drives me nuts. But, it is a fun group and we laugh a lot and have a good time.
