Well…damn, just finished the 6 1/2 hours of my “ride my age day” to get to 75 miles…and no, I’m not 75 but I have to ride laps in multiples of 15 since that is how long they are so 5 laps at 15 miles each gets me to 75 miles for the day…and the worst lap was the third one for some reason…just no energy and had a struggle on the homeward leg so I made sure to eat something when I got back here for my water refill….and that helped on laps 4 and 5 and I still had enough energy to sprint a bit on the way back since I knew I could leave it all on the trail….it is kind of a relief to get this done before my birthday and it is a little cool that I didn’t plan it so I didn’t have time to worry about it….now I’m good til next year…I think I may have earned a cocktail tonight….I know I can eat a big dinner so I may have 4 chicken legs and corn on the cob…yummy….I’m sore…..
