Ninety-nine

winding roadDouble nine, 99, is how many miles I rode over this long weekend. It started off with the great 45ish miler on Saturday, followed up by a little easier 30 on Sunday and I capped it all off with a solo 28 mile ride on Monday. I felt really good during Saturday and Sundays rides, but at about mile 18 or so on Monday my legs were starting to say no more and the last 5 or so miles were just tough. I pushed through it and still managed to grab a few Strava personal achievements, 15 in total for the ride.
Today will be a much needed day of rest as thunderstorms are predicted for this afternoon. Should give me a little time to get to that Bike Loot review.
Here is a scenic photo from Mondays ride. Views like that make cycling all that much better.

  • My Bucket List

    Well summer is winding down and with that will go the warmer weather and the increased daylight hours. A lot has happened these in first 9 months, not to mention getting married to my beautiful wife. But outside of that, other life curveballs basically shelled my event schedule before it…
