Week #42. The weather is changing!

Week #42 - 560 miles

The weather is getting colder but we still managed to have a nice ride on Saturday down to Paper Moon for a cinnamon roll. Lance and Randy joined me and we headed down to their festival. It has been fairly chilly for the last few days and the wind is back. Hopefully it will warm up a little this coming week.

Happy to get over 91,000 miles for the ride streak. Getting closer to that 100,000 mile mark. 

 

Week #41 Feeling recovered from Cannonball

 

Week #41 - 510 miles

I feel like I have recovered good from Cannonball. Got in 170+ miles on Saturday and the body actually felt pretty good all day. Rode easy but that was the plan to just get in the miles. It was also nice to get in over 90K miles during the ride streak this week. The big goal is try to get to 100K miles but who knows. Lots can happen in the next few months but it will be cool if it does happen.

Week #40 Well Cannonball didn't go quite as I expected!

 

Week #40 - 514 miles

September - 2552 miles

Well Cannonball 550 turned out to be hot and windy the first day. I thought I was eating and drinking enough along with managing my efforts. Turned out I would get really sick early in the evening and never really be able to recover from it. After throwing up a few times, I tried to take it easy through the night. I hoped that by the morning my stomach would settle down and I would be able to get back to eating some solid foods. I tired stopping for an hour around noon to rest, but still was having issues. Finally around 3:30pm on Saturday afternoon I decided to pull the plug after only going 290 miles. Not what I hope for but that is sometimes how it goes. I did managed to get in over 2500 miles for the month and I am up about 1450 miles over last year at this time.
