Oof. Today was a bit brutal. I’ve done some decent little rides over the past few weeks, but haven’t gone much over 50 in more than a month. That kind of thing works on one’s conditioning. Thrown in that I did nearly 4,000 feet of climbing (a lot for me — top 10 actually), and the legs are feeling it.
Still, we saw a lot of pretty cool stuff, and of course, got off the beaten path a few times, and even got to a new top speed of 43mph coming off of Viking Death Ship (the climb about 40 miles into the ride). Always an adventure. I definitely need to work on my conditioning and my weight though. It’s just getting harder to slog this gut up some of those hills…
