I finally felt like my normal self today for the first time since I returned home from the Grand Canyon rafting trip 2 weeks ago.

97 mile bike ride starting at 3 am. It was a long hot ride. Even after drinking as much as I possibly could keep down I still lost 8 lbs. I was completely spent for a good hour after the ride. Once I got some food and drink in a recovered quickly though.

6 really slow. My left calf has been bugging me the last couple weeks. It still wasn't completely right this morning.

120 mile bike ride. My longest ride ever. 
I started at 1:00 am. I was 90 degrees and it stayed right about that for the duration of the ride. I felt so much better than I did last week when it stayed a bit over 100 degrees the entire ride. What a difference 10 degrees make!

20 mile bike.

It would have been 25 miles but as I was descending the mountain I got going pretty fast and the road turned and there was a bunch of loose dirt on the road from the rains and I couldn't turn so I had to hit my breaks hard and and I ended up off the road.  Luckily I didn't crash but the locking up of the breaks shredded my tire.  I ended up hitching a ride from the really nice guys back to my truck.  It could have ended much worse.  I'm grateful to have walked away just needing a new tire, not medical attention,

150 mile ride. I started about 11 pm last night and finished about 8:45 this morning. That was a long time cycling. Mitch met up with me at 5 am and rode around 30 miles with me. I was solo the rest of the ride the last 25 were tough. I did it though. 
 

3 weeks till Lotoja. I'm super glad I will be able to ride with others. I don't know if I'd make it 206 miles solo.

70 mile ride. I was planning on 100, but I'm just wasn't feeling it this morning. Probably a combination of the heat and still having tired legs from last weeks 150 mile ride.
