Hello everyone!
Well, I think I am now officially crazy or off my rocker! Because I can say, although I was FREEZING cold today, riding in the ICE COLD downpouring rain in the middle of the Nevada desert in the middle of June, I still had a lot of fun! It only rained and downpoured for about 55 miles of the 73.18 that I did....so those last 18 miles were not so bad. As one would expect, it is now sunny and warm outside, no one would know it was downpouring rain for a good part of the day!
The ride itself was not so bad...it was pretty flat, and we all had a pretty nice tailwind. I started using my clip pedals again. For the past week, I've just been using the regular pedals, but one of the staff members here loosened up the clips for me, so it is easier for me to get in and out of. This, along with my motivation for a hot bath may have been why I made such good time today. I've spoken with many here who actually take ice cold baths for 15 minutes after their rides. I just cannot bring myself to do that, not yet anyway!
I am very excited, cuz tomorrow I get to sleep in! We don't have to load our stuff til 7:45 and we will be eating breakfast at 8! That means I can sleep in until 7:15!!! I am going to be a ball full of energy tomorrow with all of that extra sleep!!! Tomorrow will be full of some hills, but nothing compared to what I've done earlier this week! I am actually starting to mentally prepare for the back to back century rides we will be riding in just a few days. Both days will be a bit over 100 miles, so I will be appreciating tomorrow's ride of only 55 miles.
I got a coupon for a dollar's worth of nickles to play the slot machines. That is where I am headed off to now, before turning in for the evening. That's pretty much all I have to report for today.
Adios! M
