Just think you can anyway

Went for a ride over the weekend and discovered just how quickly you can lose what you’ve worked a year to get. Early in the biking season (really before it started) I was doing great–20 and 21 mph rides without a problem. Then little league baseball kicks in, other activities start pulling at my time, and before you know it two months have passed and I’ve gained about 15 pounds. This past weekend I did a 40 and I think that a 16mph average would be a generous estimate.

I still want to do the Blood Sweat and Gears thing, but I think the 53 miler is a more realistic option…
