Ride Description:

Short out and back route with an early start to beat the heat and to get a little more work done on a patio project. Good thing I have a long lifting background. The wall blocks weigh 80 pounds each and there are 65 blocks. Plus the dirt and gravel that I have already moved by hand. Ugh.....why?

Ride Description:

I've felt pretty good on most of my training rides lately, but today....ugh....that did not go well at all. My stomach felt queasy from about mile 60 to the finish and my body just did not want to put forth the effort.

But that's okay. Love cycling nonetheless!
