Yesterday I was able to eclipse my initial goal of 500miles and though the wind is raging today I felt like I could get some mileage in.so I set out on my usual route the getting there was not too taxing however the way back was full of invisible walls seemingly pushing on me as hard as I could peddle. Tomorrow we are supposed to get some thunderstorms so I felt it made more sense to try to push today and take on the tomorrow when I have time and evaluate conditions then. Hope you are all having an awesome Sunday!
On the hot days you just can't push as hard I tried to still log some miles but it was a much slower pace than usual with a lot more ice water breaks. Hopefully the next few days are cooler than today... Otherwise I will have to shift to plan B and log my miles tomorrow on a stationary bike! Hope you are all doing well and staying safe!!!
The event has started and now we get to see if the training pays off. We are still seeing temps in excess of 110F different days. On days like this it is key to wear sunscreen and use a sun blocker, bring and drink lots of water and take breaks in the shade. Also a good idea to find protein bars you can snack on while you are pushing your body through longer rides and lots of stretching! Hope to see you out there, and as always thank you for your support!
Between bike tuning, high temps and my smart watch and phone overheating it has been hard to show the hours I am putting in to make next month a success. Thank you everyone who has donated, look forward to seeing some of you out on the roads!!
